SCA: security update for github.com/cilium/cilium (GHSA-q7w8-72mr-vpgw)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417977
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Cilium is a networking, observability, and security solution with an eBPF-based dataplane. Prior to
versions 1.14.14 and 1.15.8, a race condition in the Cilium agent can cause the agent to ignore labels
that should be applied to a node. This could in turn cause CiliumClusterwideNetworkPolicies intended for
nodes with the ignored label to not apply, leading to policy bypass. This issue has been patched in Cilium
v1.14.14 and v1.15.8 As the underlying issue depends on a race condition, users unable to upgrade can
restart the Cilium agent on affected nodes until the affected policies are confirmed to be working as
expected. (CVE-2024-42488)
