Kubernetes 權限提升弱點公開揭露 (CVE-2018-1002105)
Patches are available for a critical privilege escalation flaw (CVE-2018-1002105) in the open-source container orchestration system, Kubernetes.
背景說明
On December 3, details about a privilege escalation vulnerability in Kubernetes, the popular open source container orchestration system, were publicly disclosed by the Kubernetes team. Kubernetes is used to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
Vulnerability details
Designated as CVE-2018-1002105, the vulnerability exists in the proxy handling function of the Kubernetes API server. Arbitrary requests can be made to the backend server via the Kubernetes API server if the requestor is permitted to establish a connection to the API server. According to the Kubernetes team, “all users (authenticated and unauthenticated) are allowed to perform discovery API calls that allow this escalation” through the default configuration.
Additionally, this vulnerability allows for the escalation of Kubernetes pod API requests (exec, attach, portforward) through the kubelet API.
The Kubernetes team notes that, due to the fact that “unauthorized requests are made over an established connection,” the requests won’t appear in the audit or server logs. However, the requests appearing in either the kubelet or aggregated API server logs will be “indistinguishable from correctly authorized and proxied requests via the Kubernetes API server,” making it difficult to detect the use of this vulnerability in your environment.
Urgently required actions
System administrators, users or anyone deploying Kubernetes should upgrade to the patched versions immediately. The following versions of Kubernetes are affected by this vulnerability:
- Kubernetes v1.0.x-1.9.x
- Kubernetes v1.10.0-1.10.10
- Kubernetes v1.11.0-1.11.4
- Kubernetes v1.12.0-1.12.2
The vulnerability is addressed in the following versions of Kubernetes:
Additionally, users of Red Hat’s OpenShift Container Platform should upgrade to the patched versions as soon as possible.
Lastly, please review the security tracker pages for Debian and SUSE distributions for up-to-date information on the availability of a Kubernetes patch on these platforms.
