Description

Utilizing the DCOS Cluster's Marathon UI, an attacker can create
a docker container with the '/' path mounted with read/write
permissions on the host server that is running the docker container.
As the docker container executes command as uid 0 it is honored
by the host operating system allowing the attacker to edit/create
files owed by root. This exploit abuses this to creates a cron job
in the '/etc/cron.d/' path of the host server.

*Notes: The docker image must be a valid docker image from
hub.docker.com. Furthermore the docker container will only
deploy if there are resources available in the DC/OS cluster.
