Docker Desktop 4.92.0

Docker Desktop 4.92.0 was released on September 21, 2026. This is a security and stability maintenance release that resolves a security vulnerability and corrects behavior on Windows WSL and Kubernetes nodes.

Security Fixes

The release addresses CVE-2026-53495, a vulnerability identified in the previous versions. Users are advised to update promptly. The fix is accompanied by a backport of the upstream Linux fix for the copy.fail issue tracked as CVE-2026-31431.

Windows and WSL Corrections

• Fixed an issue where Docker Desktop would retry starting the WSL engine indefinitely, preventing the VM from coming up cleanly.
• Improved startup behavior on Windows hosts so the engine stabilizes after a restart.

Kubernetes Updates

Bundled Kubernetes components were refreshed in this release. Node startup and cluster bring-up are more reliable, addressing intermittent issues reported against the previous version.

Upgrade Guidance

Docker Desktop follows its regular two-week release cadence. Download 4.92.0 from the official release notes page and restart the application so the patched engine and Kubernetes components take effect.
