Multiple vulnerabilities in OpenShift Container Platform

1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

EUVDB-ID: #VU25983

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1726

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 in Podman where it incorrectly allows containers when created to overwrite existing files in volumes, even if they are mounted as read-only. When a user runs a malicious container or a container based on a malicious image with an attached volume that is used for the first time, it is possible to trigger the flaw and overwrite files in the volume.T

Mitigation

Update to version 4.3.5.

Vulnerable software versions

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform: 4.3.0 - 4.3.4

2) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU25501

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8945

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error, as demonstrated by use for container image pulls by Docker or CRI-O. A remote attacker can crash the target system, or cause potential code execution for Go applications that use this library under certain conditions during GPG signature verification.

Mitigation

Update to version 4.3.5.

Vulnerable software versions
