RHCOS 3 : OpenShift Container Platform 3.11.346 (RHSA-2020:5363)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 312464

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat CoreOS host is missing one or more security updates for OpenShift Container Platform 3.11.346.

Description

The remote Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:5363 advisory.

- kubernetes: improper validation of URL redirection in the Kubernetes API server allows an attacker- controlled Kubelet to redirect API server requests from streaming endpoints (CVE-2018-1002102)

- kubernetes: compromised node could escalate to cluster level privileges (CVE-2020-8559)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHCOS OpenShift Container Platform 3.11.346 package based on the guidance in RHSA-2020:5363.
