How can I resolve "unexpected EOF" error when pulling docker image

I have Docker Desktop 4.16.2 (95914) on MacOS Ventura 13.1, and as far as I know I'm not connected to any proxies. I've authenticated to docker hub via docker desktop, and have tried to pull a python base image by running "docker build .", with the following line at the top of the Dockerfile:

FROM python:3

I get the following error:

Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/": unexpected EOF

Does anyone know what might be causing this and how to resolve it?

I pinned down the issue to privileges changes since Docker Desktop 4.15.0 for Mac.

What fixed the issue on my end was to downgrade to 4.14.1:

  1. Uninstall Docker completely. This can be done by opening Docker Desktop UI, clicking the Bug icon and clicking "Uninstall". Then, the application can be moved to the bin.
  2. Install Docker Desktop 4.14.1

I encountered this issue on a company Mac where I suspect the Privileges app I need to use to elevate permissions doesn't work well with the privileges changes Docker made starting from 4.15.0. Extract from their 4.15.0 changelog:

Docker Desktop for Mac no longer needs to install the privileged helper process com.docker.vmnetd on install or on the first run. For more information see Permission requirements for Mac.
