What about cloud VMs? I would love to read more about "they don't respect the bind address when they do forwarding into the container" and "machines one hop away can forward packets into the docker container" if you could be so kind!

Upd: thanks for a link, looks quite bad. I am now thinking that an adjacent VM in a provider like Hetzner or Contabo could be able to pull it off. I guess I will have to finally switch remaining Docker installations to Podman and/or resort to https://firewalld.org/2024/11/strict-forward-ports

i cant speak to hetzner, contabo. i have tested this attack on aws, gcp a while back and their L2 segmentation was solid. VMs/containers should be VLANd across customers/projects on most mature providers. On some it may not be though.

if theres defense in depth it may be worth checking out L2 forwarding within a project for unexpected pivots an attacker could use. we've seen this come up in pentests

I work on SPR, we take special care in our VPN to avoid these problems as well, by not letting docker do the firewalling for us. (one blog post on the issue: https://www.supernetworks.org/pages/blog/docker-networking-c...).

as an aside there's a closely related issue with one-hop attacks with conntrack as well, that we locked down in October.
