CVE-2024-45497

Red Hat Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.12, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.13, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.14

A flaw was found in the OpenShift build process, where the docker-build container is configured with a hostPath volume mount that maps the node's /var/lib/kubelet/config.json file into the build pod. This file contains sensitive credentials necessary for pulling images from private repositories. The mount is not read-only, which allows the attacker to overwrite it. By modifying the config.json file, the attacker can cause a denial of service by preventing the node from pulling new images and potentially exfiltrating sensitive secrets. This flaw impacts the availability of services dependent...
