Description

In docker swarm mode, binding a port to 127.0.0.1 results with the port being open on 0.0.0.0 also. This could be a severe security issue and should be explained in the documentation.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Create a service, for example MongoDB, in your docker-compose.swarm.yml file, and publish the port 27017 to localhost:
  mongodb:
    image: mongo:3.2
    volumes:
      - ./persistent-data/mongodb:/data
      - ./persistent-data/mongodb/db:/data/db
    networks:
      data:
        aliases:
          - mongo.docker
    logging:
      driver: syslog
      options:
        syslog-address: "udp://10.129.26.80:5514"
        tag: "docker[mongodb]"
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:27017:27017"
    deploy:
      placement:
        constraints: [node.labels.purpose == main-data]
  1. Deploy your swarm
  2. Check if the port is open from outside your swarm with netcat

Describe the results you received:

nc -vz PUBLIC_NODE_IP 27017
found 0 associations
found 1 connections:
[...]
Connection to PUBLIC_NODE_IP port 27017 [tcp/*] succeeded!

Describe the results you expected:
The port being only available on 127.0.0.1, at least in the swarm nodes running this service.
