CoreOS announced the release 1.0 of Clair, the container image security analysis solution for appc and Docker images. Analyses done on millions of container images in CoreOS’s Quay container registry using a beta version of Clair revealed an alarming number of images containing known security vulnerabilities, with 66% containing Ghost, and 80% containing the Heartbleed security bugs.
According to CoreOS, over 70% of these problems could be fixed by performing a simple update to these containers’ installed images.
