Fix:
For existing AWS CodeBuild projects, select the project and edit the environment.
![Edit AWS CodeBuild Environment](https://cdn.awsjunkie.com/content/2023/07/edit-environment.jpg)
Click 'Override image".
![Override current environment image](https://cdn.awsjunkie.com/content/2023/07/override-image.jpg)
Select the "Privileged" checkbox ("Enable this flag if you want to build Docker images or want your builds to get elevated privileges.") and click "Update environment".

This will fix the Docker daemon access related issue.
For new project, you get the same option to enable it while selecting the environment image.
