CVE-2026-33748

Publication date 22 April 2026

Last updated 23 April 2026


Ubuntu priority

Description

BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and repeatable manner. Prior to version 0.28.1, insufficient validation of Git URL fragment subdir components may allow access to files outside the checked-out Git repository root. Possible access is limited to files on the same mounted filesystem. The issue has been fixed in version v0.28.1 The issue affects only builds that use Git URLs with a subpath component. As a workaround, avoid building Dockerfiles from untrusted sources or using the subdir component from an untrusted Git repository where the subdir component could point to a symlink.

Notes


alexmurray

Traditionally the docker.io source package contained both the library and docker application. However, in releases that contain the docker.io-app source package, the docker.io source package contains only the library whilst the docker application itself is contained in the docker.io-app package.
