What fixes it

A fixed version on one release line is not the upgrade target for every line. Check your exact version and any vendor backports.

Description

Before 4.92.0, Docker Desktop for Windows did not verify the signature of a package supplied to Docker Desktop Installer.exe install -package. An attacker able to provide a crafted package and convince a user to approve the Docker-signed UAC prompt could execute attacker-controlled installer actions as LocalSystem.
