[TLP:CLEAR] Docker Engine fixes a critical vulnerability

Docker Engine version v27.1.1 fixes a critical vulnerability. If updating is not possible, the company recommends avoiding the use of AuthZ plugins and restricting access to the Docker API to trusted parties in line with the principle of least privilege [1].

Docker Engine - (CVE-2024-41110)
CVSS 9.9 (Critical)

Allows an authenticated remote attacker to bypass an API request with the Content-Length set to 0, causing the Docker daemon to forward the request without a body to the AuthZ plugin, which may incorrectly approve the request [2] [1].
