Red Hat Security Advisory: OpenShift Container Platform 4.8.2 bug fix and security update

Moderate

A flaw was found in the way the DES/3DES cipher was used as part of the TLS/SSL protocol. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to recover some plaintext data by capturing large amounts of encrypted traffic between TLS/SSL server and client if the communication used a DES/3DES based ciphersuite.

CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

A flaw was found in nodejs-y18n. There is a prototype pollution vulnerability in y18n's locale functionality. If an attacker is able to provide untrusted input via locale, they may be able to cause denial of service or in rare circumstances, impact to data integrity or confidentiality.

CWE-915 - Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes

A flaw was found In etcd, where a large slice causes panic in the decodeRecord method. The size of a record is stored in the length field of a WAL file, and no additional validation is performed on this data. Therefore, it is possible to forge an extremely large frame size that can unintentionally panic at the expense of any RAFT participant trying to decode the WAL. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

CWE-400 - Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
