IBM Cloud Private is vulnerable to Kubernetes vulnerabilities (CVE-2020-8557,
CVE-2020-8559)
Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM Cloud Private is vulnerable to Kubernetes vulnerabilities
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2020-8557
DESCRIPTION: Kubernetes kubelet is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by
an issue with not including the /etc/hostsfile file by the kubelet eviction
manager when calculating ephemeral storage usage. By writing a large amount of
data to the /etc/hostsfile, a local authenticated attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to fill the storage space of the node and cause the node to fail.
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
185301 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2020-8559
DESCRIPTION: Kubernetes kube-apiserver could allow a remote authenticated
attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a flaw when
multiple clusters share the same certificate authority trusted by the client.
By intercepting certain requests and sending a redirect response, an attacker
could exploit this vulnerability to compromise other nodes.
CVSS Base score: 6.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/

Remediation/Fixes
Product defect fixes and security updates are only available for the two most
recent Continuous Delivery (CD) update packages
o IBM Cloud Private 3.2.1
o IBM Cloud Private 3.2.2
For IBM Cloud Private 3.2.1, the defect fixes for Kubernetes require an update

Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM Cloud Private is vulnerable to a Kubernetes vulnerability
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2020-8553
DESCRIPTION: Kubernetes ingress-nginx could allow a remote authenticated
attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw when the annotation
