AI-suggested

A security update is available that fixes the critical vulnerability CVE-2025-54388 and other issues. Users should upgrade Docker Engine to versions later than 28.5.1-ce and docker-buildx to versions later than 0.29.0 as provided by SUSE. For SUSE Linux Enterprise users, explicitly setting DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 is recommended to avoid automatic use of docker-buildx, which does not support secret injection via SUSEConnect. Check the SUSE vendor advisory for the latest patch and remediation details.

Description

A critical security update for Docker addresses multiple issues including a critical vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-54388. The update covers Docker Engine versions 28.3.3-ce through 28.5.1-ce and docker-buildx versions 0.26.0 through 0.29.0. It also fixes a nil pointer panic in the 'docker push' command and includes changes specific to SUSE Linux Enterprise systems. Users are advised to set DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 to avoid automatic use of docker-buildx due to secret injection compatibility issues.
