CVE-2019-0204 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. A specifically crafted Docker image running under the root user can overwrite the init helper binary of the container runtime and/or the command executor in Apache Mesos versions pre-1.4.x, 1.4.0 to 1.4.2, 1.5.0 to 1.5.2, 1.6.0 to 1.6.1, and 1.7.0 to 1.7.1. A malicious actor can therefore gain root-level code execution on the host.. EPSS estimates a 2.71% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
