Red Hat Security Advisory: OpenShift Container Platform 4.21.23 bug fix and security update

Important

A flaw was found in gRPC-Go, the Go language implementation of gRPC. This vulnerability, an authorization bypass, is caused by improper input validation of the HTTP/2 `:path` pseudo-header. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending raw HTTP/2 frames with a malformed `:path` that omits the mandatory leading slash. This allows the attacker to bypass defined security policies, potentially leading to unauthorized access to services or information disclosure.

CWE-551 - Incorrect Behavior Order: Authorization Before Parsing and Canonicalization

A flaw was found in the SPDY streaming code used by Kubelet, CRI-O, and kube-apiserver. An attacker with specific cluster roles, such as those allowing access to pod port forwarding, execution, or attachment, or node proxying, could exploit this vulnerability. This could lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) by causing the affected components to become unresponsive.

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
