CVE-2015-3630 describes a vulnerability in Docker Engine versions prior to 1.6.1, where weak permissions on specific /proc filesystems (asound, timer_stats, latency_stats, and fs) allow local users to compromise the host. This vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.2, indicating high severity due to its potential for complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (C:C/I:C/A:C) with low attack complexity and no authentication required. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, no public exploit code available (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion or media coverage.
