CVE-2019-0204

What is CVE-2019-0204?

A vulnerability exists in certain versions of Apache Mesos that allows a malicious actor to exploit a crafted Docker image running as the root user.

This represents a significant security risk as it may allow further compromise of the environment and access to sensitive information.
