CVE number – CVE-2026-8936
This vulnerability allows local attackers to create a denial-of-service condition on affected installations of Docker Desktop.
An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code within a container on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the grpcfuse kernel module.
The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in unbounded recursion.
An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to create a denial-of-service condition on the system.
