SCA: security update for github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge (GHSA-qpx3-9565-5xwm)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 418255
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- KubeEdge is an open source system for extending native containerized application orchestration
capabilities to hosts at Edge. Prior to versions 1.11.1, 1.10.2, and 1.9.4, the CloudCore Router does not
impose a limit on the size of responses to requests made by the REST handler. An attacker could use this
weakness to make a request that will return an HTTP response with a large body and cause DoS of CloudCore.
In the HTTP Handler API, the rest handler makes a request to a pre-specified handle. The handle will
return an HTTP response that is then read into memory. The consequence of the exhaustion is that CloudCore
will be in a denial of service. Only an authenticated user of the cloud can make an attack. It will be
affected only when users enable `router` module in the config file `cloudcore.yaml`. This bug has been
fixed in Kubeedge 1.11.1, 1.10.2, and 1.9.4. As a workaround, disable the router switch in the config file
`cloudcore.yaml`. (CVE-2022-31078)
