Technical details

A data race in the BuildKit daemon's internal API request handling allows a malicious external frontend to send specially crafted requests that trigger a concurrent access condition, causing a daemon panic. The vulnerability affects BuildKit versions up to v0.33.0 and requires the use of an untrusted external frontend; Dockerfile builds are not affected. The fix is available in v0.33.1 and later.

Affected products

  • Moby BuildKit <=v0.33.0
