Docker Moby /proc/scsi Path Exposure Allows Host Data Loss (SCSI MICDROP)

Published Nov 4, 2017 · Updated Jan 27, 2026 · Assigned by mitre

Description

The DefaultLinuxSpec function in oci/defaults.go in Docker Moby through 17.03.2-ce does not block /proc/scsi pathnames, which allows attackers to trigger data loss (when certain older Linux kernels are used) by leveraging Docker container access to write a "scsi remove-single-device" line to /proc/scsi/scsi, aka SCSI MICDROP.
