Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Docker and Moby (github.com/docker/docker and github.com/moby/moby) versions below 24.0.9, and versions 25.0.0 up to but not including 25.0.2, are vulnerable to build cache poisoning in the classic builder. An attacker who knows a user's Dockerfile can supply a crafted image that is accepted as a valid cache for build steps, so a build may run a substituted instruction such as a different HEALTHCHECK. Upgrade to 24.0.9 or 25.0.2. Builds can also avoid the classic builder by using BuildKit or passing --no-cache.
