Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2018-1002102

low Nessus Plugin ID 254504

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - Improper validation of URL redirection in the Kubernetes API server in versions prior to v1.14.0 allows an attacker-controlled Kubelet to redirect API server requests from streaming endpoints to arbitrary hosts.
 Impacted API servers will follow the redirect as a GET request with client-certificate credentials for authenticating to the Kubelet. (CVE-2018-1002102)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
