moby Access to remapped root allows privilege escalation to real root

Quick fix

GHSA-7452-xqpj-6rpc — github.com/moby/moby: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

go get github.com/moby/moby@v19.3.15

Details

### Impact

When using `--userns-remap`, if the root user in the remapped namespace has access to the host filesystem they can modify files under `/var/lib/docker/<remapping>` that cause writing files with extended privileges.

### Patches

Versions 20.10.3 and 19.03.15 contain patches that prevent privilege escalation from remapped user.

### Credits

Maintainers would like to thank Alex Chapman for discovering the vulnerability; @awprice, @nathanburrell, @raulgomis, @chris-walz, @erin-jensby, @bassmatt, @mark-adams, @dbaxa for working on it and Zac Ellis for responsibly disclosing it to security@docker.com
