AI-suggested

Red Hat has released official security updates for OpenShift Container Platform versions 4.15.33 and 4.17.0 that address CVE-2024-7387. Users should upgrade their OpenShift clusters to these or later versions using the OpenShift CLI (oc) or web console as per the vendor's upgrade instructions. The vendor manages remediation for these container images and provides detailed guidance in the referenced advisories and release notes. No alternative mitigations are indicated; applying the official updates is required to remediate the vulnerability.

Description

A flaw was found in openshift/builder. This vulnerability allows command injection via path traversal, where a malicious user can execute arbitrary commands on the OpenShift node running the builder container. When using the “Docker” strategy, executable files inside the privileged build container can be overridden using the `spec.source.secrets.secret.destinationDir` attribute of the `BuildConfig` definition. An attacker running code in a privileged container could escalate their permissions on the node running the container.
