Summary
The Marathon UI in DC/OS < 1.9.0 allows unauthenticated users to deploy arbitrary Docker containers. Due to improper restriction of volume mount configurations, attackers can deploy a container that mounts the host's root filesystem (/) with read/write privileges. When using a malicious Docker image, the attacker can write to /etc/cron.d/ on the host, achieving arbitrary code execution with root privileges. This impacts any system where the Docker daemon honors Marathon container configurations without policy enforcement.

"value": "La interfaz de usuario de Marathon en DC/OS anterior a la versi\u00f3n 1.9.0 permite a usuarios no autenticados implementar contenedores Docker arbitrarios. Debido a la restricci\u00f3n incorrecta de las configuraciones de montaje de vol\u00famenes, los atacantes pueden implementar un contenedor que monta el sistema de archivos root del host (/) con privilegios de lectura y escritura. Al usar una imagen de Docker maliciosa, el atacante puede escribir en /etc/cron.d/ del host, lo que permite la ejecuci\u00f3n de c\u00f3digo arbitrario con privilegios de root. Esto afecta a cualquier sistema donde el demonio de Docker respete las configuraciones de los contenedores de Marathon sin la aplicaci\u00f3n de pol\u00edticas."
