Red Hat Security Advisory: OpenShift Container Platform 4.12.97 bug fix and security update

Important

A flaw was found in the crypto/tls component. This vulnerability occurs during Transport Layer Security (TLS) session resumption when certificate authority (CA) settings are modified between the initial and resumed handshakes. An attacker could exploit this to bypass certificate validation, allowing a client or server to establish a connection that should have been rejected. This could lead to an authentication bypass under specific conditions.

A flaw was found in lodash. The fix for CVE-2021-23337 added validation for the variable option in _.template but did not apply the same validation to options.imports key names. Both paths flow into the same Function() constructor sink. Additionally, _.template uses assignInWith to merge imports, which enumerates inherited properties via for..in. If Object.prototype has been polluted by any other vector, the polluted keys are copied into the imports object and passed to Function().

CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

A flaw was found in the cmd/compile package in the Go standard library. The compiler fails to correctly check for integer overflow or underflow in arithmetic operations involving loop induction variables. As a result, the compiler allows invalid memory indexing to occur at runtime, potentially leading to memory corruption.

CWE-733 - Compiler Optimization Removal or Modification of Security-critical Code

A flaw was found in the cmd/compile package in the Go standard library. A no-op interface conversion prevented the compiler from correctly identifying non-overlapping memory moves. As a result, the compiler allows unsafe memory move operations to occur at runtime, potentially causing data corruption, memory corruption or unexpected application behavior.
