Andrey,
A couple of things, here:
* First, when reporting issues that may involve vulnerabilities, please
follow responsible disclosure practices and report to our security@ mailing
list, which is a private list. See: https://guacamole.apache.org/security/.
This particular case is a bit on the edge of that, since it isn't regarding
an actual vulnerability in Guacamole, but, if in doubt, use the security
list :-).
* The answer to your question is "c" - the 1.5.5 tag represents a specific
point-in-time, when 1.5.5 was released, and may contain components with
vulnerabilities. The best practice is to use the "latest" tag
(guacamole/guacamole:latest), which will be the latest released (stable,
producion) version of Guacamole Client (still 1.5.5 at the moment), but may
have some underlying components updated (like Tomcat). The same goes for
the guacamole/guacd image.
