Docker disclosed two Docker Sandboxes vulnerabilities that can allow malicious guest environments to escape workspace isolation and access host resources. CVE-2026-77179, affecting macOS versions before 0.42.0, enables symlink-race redirection of filesystem operations, potentially permitting arbitrary file read/write and host code execution. CVE-2026-79994, affecting versions before 0.42.0, can redirect guest-to-host Unix socket connections to unauthorized AF_UNIX sockets, enabling data disclosure or access to host-side functions. Docker recommends upgrading to 0.42.0 or later, using clone mode, removing writable host mounts, and minimizing sensitive data in shared paths.
