SummaryThe 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.

description
Utilizing the DCOS Cluster's Marathon UI, an attacker can create
          a docker container with the '/' path mounted with read/write
          permissions on the host server that is running the docker container.
          As the docker container executes command as uid 0 it is honored
          by the host operating system allowing the attacker to edit/create
          files owed by root. This exploit abuses this to creates a cron job
          in the '/etc/cron.d/' path of the host server.

          *Notes: The docker image must be a valid docker image from
          hub.docker.com. Furthermore the docker container will only
          deploy if there are resources available in the DC/OS cluster.
