Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 10 vulnerabilities.

1) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU65769

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2403

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the private key for the external cluster certificate is stored incorrectly in the oauth-serving-cert ConfigMaps and accessible to any authenticated OpenShift user or service-account. A remote user can read the oauth-serving-cert ConfigMap in the openshift-config-managed namespace and compromise any web traffic secured using that certificate.

Mitigation

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 6.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-29368

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input within the __split_huge_pmd() function in mm/huge_memory.c in the Linux kernel. A local user can abuse the copy-on-write implementation and gain unintended write access because of a race condition in a THP mapcount check.

3) Security restrictions bypass

EUVDB-ID: #VU61258

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 6.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4197

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to missing permissions checks within the cgroups (control groups) functionality of Linux Kernel when writing into a file descriptor. A local low privileged process can trick a higher privileged parent process into writing arbitrary data into files, which can result in denial of service or privileges escalation.
