Description

Multicluster engine for Kubernetes v2.4.6 images Multicluster engine for Kubernetes provides the foundational components that are necessary for the centralized management of multiple Kubernetes-based clusters across data centers, public clouds, and private clouds. You can use the engine to create new Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform clusters or to bring existing Kubernetes-based clusters under management by importing them. After the clusters are managed, you can use the APIs that are provided by the engine to distribute configuration based on placement policy. nodejs/elliptic: EDDSA signature malleability occurs because there is a missing signature length check, and thus zero-valued bytes can be removed or appended (CVE-2024-42459) nodejs/elliptic: ECDSA signature malleability occurs because there is a missing check for whether the leading bit of r and s is zero (CVE-2024-42460) nodejs/elliptic: ECDSA implementation malleability due to BER-enconded signatures being allowed (CVE-2024-42461) Missing Validation in Elliptic's EDDSA Signature Verification(CVE-2024-48949)
