Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes v2.13.10 security update

Important

A flaw was found in golang.org/x/net/html. When arbitrary HTML is parsed and then rendered, it can result in an unexpected HTML tree. This allows an attacker to bypass HTML sanitization mechanisms, leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks in applications. Such attacks can result in information disclosure or arbitrary code execution.

CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

A flaw was found in the `crypto/x509` package of `golang`. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by presenting a specially crafted X.509 certificate with a large number of DNS Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries. The certificate verification process, specifically the `VerifyHostname` function, incurs excessive computational overhead due to repeated string operations when processing these entries. This can lead to a significant performance degradation or unresponsiveness of systems validating such certificates.

CWE-606 - Unchecked Input for Loop Condition

A flaw was found in golang.org/x/net/idna. ToASCII and ToUnicode incorrectly accept Punycode-encoded labels that decode to an ASCII-only hostname (for example, xn--example-.com returns example.com instead of an error). Applications that validate the ASCII form then convert to Unicode may grant access to a restricted hostname the ASCII check would have rejected.

CWE-1289 - Improper Validation of Unsafe Equivalence in Input

A flaw was found in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/knownhosts. This vulnerability occurs because the system did not correctly check for the revocation status of a SignatureKey belonging to a Certificate Authority (CA). A remote attacker could potentially exploit this by presenting a revoked key, leading to the system accepting it as valid. This could allow an attacker to bypass security checks and potentially gain unauthorized access or spoof legitimate entities.

CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation

A flaw was found in Billy, an interface filesystem abstraction for Go. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by providing crafted or malformed input. The issue arises from insufficient validation and missing safety mechanisms when processing untrusted repository data and filesystem structures, leading to panics, infinite loops, uncontrolled recursion, or excessive resource consumption.
