CVE-2015-0235aka

GHOST

“GHOST is a buffer overflow bug affecting the gethostbyname() and gethostbyname2() function calls in the glibc library. This vulnerability

allows a remote attacker that is able to make an application call to either of these functions to execute arbitrary code.”

11

CVE-2014-0160aka

Heartbleed

“The TLS and DTLS implementations in OpenSSL do not properly handle Heartbeat Extension packets, which allows remote attackers to obtain

sensitive information from process memory via crafted packets that trigger a buffer over-read.”

How do we make this better for developers?

Open source project for the static analysis of vulnerabilities in appc and docker containers.

Static analysisCONTEXT

Millions of container images

- Running these containers is expensive

- Running any untrusted container is unsafe- “We need to go deeper”- Secure solutions can become pretty complex

- Several dynamic analysis tools exist- Requires human input and guidance

18

- Extract and store enough to inform about both known and future vulnerabilities

- Reuse analysis data as much as possible

Do the job only onceCONTEXT

Millions of container imagesOver 15 new vulnerabilities / day

What happens when new vulnerabilities are published ?

19

“I read your security report about my container, but …what can I actually do?”

Here, look, here’s what you can easily fix.

“I feel confident about my container now. I’m lazy though and don’t want to check the report again. Tell me as soon as there’s

something new that I should be concerned about”

Sure. Where can I contact you?

Built as a framework

Open Source and Extensibilityare the heart and soul of Clair

v1.1.021

Built as a framework- Detectors

type FeaturesDetector interface {GetRequiredFiles() []string

Detect(map[string][]byte) ([]database.FeatureVersion, error)}

v1.1.0

type NamespaceDetector interface {GetRequiredFiles() []stringDetect(map[string][]byte) *database.Namespace

}

type DataDetector interface {Supported(path string, format string) boolDetect(layerReader io.ReadCloser, toExtract []string, maxFileSize int64) (data map[string][]byte, err

error)}

22

Built as a frameworktype Fetcher interface {FetchUpdate(database.Datastore) (FetcherResponse, error)Clean()

}

Built as a framework- Vulnerability Updaters / Notifiers

type Notifier interface {Configure(config.NotifierConfig) (bool, error)Send(database.VulnerabilityNotification) error

}

v1.1.023

type Datastore interface {ListNamespaces() ([]Namespace, error)

Ping() boolClose()

}

Built as a framework- Datastores

v1.1.024

- Image format: appc, Docker

- Operating systems: Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS

- Detection: package managers (dpkg, rpm)

- Vulnerability sources: Distribution-specific

- Database: PostgresSQL 9.4+

- Notification: Webhook

What does it currently support ?

v1.1.025

- Revisit database implementation- MySQL Support (Huawei)

- Improve release distribution- Embed migrations

- Address client UX- Integrate a solid command-line tool (Wemanity)

- Expand detection capabilities- Add Alpine Linux support (goo.gl/TSkCxM)- Implement npm (Huawei), python, OWASP

- Anything you’d like to see!

What’s next?

v1.1.026
