Docker security
SOFTWARE FREEDOM DAY, 2019, SZEGED
Janos SUTO, sj@acts.hu
Isn't docker secure?
Ars Technica: Infected images mined digital coins
"17 images posted by a single account over10 months may have
generated $90,000."
"For ordinary users, just pulling a Docker image from Docker Hub is like
pulling arbitrary binary data from somewhere, executing it, and hoping
for the best without really knowing what’s in it.”
https://arstechnica.com/information-
technology/2018/06/backdoored-images-downloaded-5-million-times-
finally-removed-from-docker-hub/
CVE-2019-5736
"runc through 1.0-rc6, as used in Docker before 18.09.2 and other
products, allows attackers to overwrite the host runc binary (and
consequently obtain host root access) by leveragingthe ability to
execute a command as root within one of these types of containers:
(1) a new container withan attacker-controlled image, or (2) an
existing container, to which the attacker previously had write access,
that can be attached with docker exec. This occurs because of file-
descriptor mishandling, related to /proc/self/exe.
Important stuff I won't talk this time
Physical security
Host security (patched OS, only necessary packages, OS hardening, ...)
Networksecurity (open ports, firewalls, strict SSH access, …)
Educating users
...
Securing images
Official images
Essential base OS repositoriesas the starting point for users
Lead examples of Dockerfile best practices
Security updates are applied in a timely manner
Scanned for vulnerabilities

Docker security
Docker Content Trust (DCT)
Use digital signatures for data sent to and receivedfrom remote
Docker registries.
These signatures allow client-sideor runtime verification of the integrity
and publisher of specific image tags.
Through DCT, image publishers can sign their images and image
consumers can ensure that the images they use are signed.
DCT #2
export DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST="1"
docker pull user/someimage
Error: remote trust data does not exist for docker.io/user/someimage:
notary.docker.io does not have trust data for
docker.io/user/someimage
https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/trust/content_trust/
Runtime Enforcement with DCT
Applies to Docker Enterprise only
Personal Access Tokens for Docker HUB
Use your own registry
Docker registry
Harbor
Quay (automatic security scanning)
JFrog Artifactory (PRO edition)
Don't use insecure registries
By default it's not enabled
Build your own images
Start from official images
Use a reasonable distro (eg. alpine)
Include only what's really required (eg. --no-install-recommends)
USER someuser
No sudo
No sshd
Don't bake any secrets to the image
ENV MYSQL_PASSWORD "aaaa"
Scan your images

Docker bench security
Checking for best practices:
1. Host configuration
2. Docker daemon configuration
3. Docker daemon configuration files
4. Container Images and Build File
5. Container Runtime
6. Docker Security Operations
7. Docker Swarm Configuration
https://github.com/docker/docker-bench-security
[INFO] 2 - Docker daemon configuration
[PASS] 2.1 - Ensure network traffic is restricted between containers on the
default bridge
[PASS] 2.2 - Ensure the logging level is set to 'info'
[PASS] 2.3 - Ensure Docker is allowed to make changes to iptables
[PASS] 2.4 - Ensure insecure registries are not used
[PASS] 2.5 - Ensure aufs storage driver is not used
[INFO] 2.6 - Ensure TLS authentication for Docker daemon is configured
[INFO] * Docker daemon not listening on TCP
[INFO] 2.7 - Ensure the default ulimit is configured appropriately
[INFO] * Default ulimit doesn't appear to be set
Securing the daemon
Protect the socket

Securing containers
Resource limits
--memory 2G: The maximum amount of memory the container can use
--memory-swap 2G: The amount of memory the container is allowed to
swap to disk
--shm-size 64M: Size of /dev/shm
--cpus=1.5 how much of the available CPU resources a container can use.
--cpuset-cpus=0,1,2: Limit the specific CPUs or cores a container can use
--gpus device=0,2: nvidia gpu access
--pids-limit: Limit number of processes started inside docker container
--ulimit <options>, eg. --ulimit nproc=256:512

Don't use privileged mode
"Privileged mode enables access to all deviceson the host as wellas
set some configuration in AppArmor or SELinux to allow the container
nearly all the same access to the host as processes running outside
containers on the host."
Don't use the host's namespaces

Secrets in config files in container
docker run –v /path/to/1.cfg:/etc/yourapp/1.cfg:royourimage
Docker secrets
Container orchestrationsystems offer some basic secret management
Kubernetes: secrets, configmaps (Namespaces, RBAC)
Docker Swarm: secrets
Not for a standalone docker installation :-(
Setup a single node swarm or k8s deployment:-)

Host encryption
Don't use fscrypt: no support for namespaces
Use LUKS
Final words
Apply what makes sense in your environment
At the end of the day security must not kill productivity

Docker security

  • 1. Docker security SOFTWARE FREEDOM DAY, 2019, SZEGED Janos SUTO, [email protected]
  • 2. Isn't docker secure? Ars Technica: Infected images mined digital coins "17 images posted by a single account over10 months may have generated $90,000." "For ordinary users, just pulling a Docker image from Docker Hub is like pulling arbitrary binary data from somewhere, executing it, and hoping for the best without really knowing what’s in it.” https://arstechnica.com/information- technology/2018/06/backdoored-images-downloaded-5-million-times- finally-removed-from-docker-hub/
  • 3. CVE-2019-5736 "runc through 1.0-rc6, as used in Docker before 18.09.2 and other products, allows attackers to overwrite the host runc binary (and consequently obtain host root access) by leveragingthe ability to execute a command as root within one of these types of containers: (1) a new container withan attacker-controlled image, or (2) an existing container, to which the attacker previously had write access, that can be attached with docker exec. This occurs because of file- descriptor mishandling, related to /proc/self/exe.
  • 4. Important stuff I won't talk this time Physical security Host security (patched OS, only necessary packages, OS hardening, ...) Networksecurity (open ports, firewalls, strict SSH access, …) Educating users ...
  • 6. Official images Essential base OS repositoriesas the starting point for users Lead examples of Dockerfile best practices Security updates are applied in a timely manner Scanned for vulnerabilities https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/official_images/
  • 8. Docker Content Trust (DCT) Use digital signatures for data sent to and receivedfrom remote Docker registries. These signatures allow client-sideor runtime verification of the integrity and publisher of specific image tags. Through DCT, image publishers can sign their images and image consumers can ensure that the images they use are signed.
  • 9. DCT #2 export DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST="1" docker pull user/someimage Error: remote trust data does not exist for docker.io/user/someimage: notary.docker.io does not have trust data for docker.io/user/someimage https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/trust/content_trust/
  • 10. Runtime Enforcement with DCT Applies to Docker Enterprise only
  • 11. Personal Access Tokens for Docker HUB
  • 12. Use your own registry Docker registry Harbor Quay (automatic security scanning) JFrog Artifactory (PRO edition)
  • 13. Don't use insecure registries By default it's not enabled
  • 14. Build your own images Start from official images Use a reasonable distro (eg. alpine) Include only what's really required (eg. --no-install-recommends) USER someuser No sudo No sshd
  • 15. Don't bake any secrets to the image ENV MYSQL_PASSWORD "aaaa"
