Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
EUVDB-ID: #VU34130
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8559
CWE-ID:
CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote privileged user to execute arbitrary code.
The Kubernetes kube-apiserver in versions v1.6-v1.15, and versions prior to v1.16.13, v1.17.9 and v1.18.6 are vulnerable to an unvalidated redirect on proxied upgrade requests that could allow an attacker to escalate privileges from a node compromise to a full cluster compromise.

2) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU47741
Risk: Critical
CVSSv3.1: 8.4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:H/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15999
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in freetype library when processing TTF files. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted TTF file with PNG sbit glyphs to the application, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
Note, this vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
