Red Hat Security Advisory: OpenShift Container Platform 4.19.4 bug fix and security update

Important

A flaw was found in the x/crypto/ssh go library. Applications and libraries that misuse the ServerConfig.PublicKeyCallback callback may be susceptible to an authorization bypass. For example, an attacker may send public keys A and B and authenticate with A. PublicKeyCallback would be called only twice, first with A and then with B. A vulnerable application may then make authorization decisions based on key B, for which the attacker does not control the private key. The misuse of ServerConfig.PublicKeyCallback may cause an authorization bypass.

CWE-285 - Improper Authorization

A privilege escalation vulnerability was found in Sudo. In certain configurations, unauthorized users can gain elevated system privileges via the Sudo host option (`-h` or `--host`). When using the default sudo security policy plugin (sudoers), the host option is intended to be used in conjunction with the list option (`-l` or `--list`) to determine what permissions a user has on a different system. However, this restriction can be bypassed, allowing a user to elevate their privileges on one system to the privileges they may have on a different system, effectively ignoring the host identifier in any sudoers rules. This vulnerability is particularly impactful for systems that share a single sudoers configuration file across multiple computers or use network-based user directories, such as LDAP, to provide sudoers rules on a system.
