TITLE

systemd Vulnerabilities related to authorization, permissions, and access control

DESCRIPTION

In systemd before v242-rc4, it was discovered that pam_systemd does not properly sanitize the environment before using the XDG_SEAT variable. It is possible for an attacker, in some particular configurations, to set a XDG_SEAT environment variable which allows for commands to be checked against polkit policies using the "allow_active" element rather than "allow_any". systemd Contains vulnerabilities related to authorization, permissions, and access control.Information is obtained, information is altered, and service operation is disrupted (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. Systemd is a Linux-based system and service manager for Lennart Poettering software developers in Germany. The product is compatible with SysV and LSB startup scripts and provides a framework for representing dependencies between system services. A license and access control vulnerability exists in the systemdv242-rc4 release that stems from the lack of effective permissions and access control measures for network systems or products. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain access to webmasters. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage 4.6.5 security and bug fix update Advisory ID: RHSA-2021:2479-01 Product: Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:2479 Issue date: 2021-06-17 CVE Names: CVE-2016-10228 CVE-2017-14502 CVE-2019-2708 CVE-2019-3842 CVE-2019-9169 CVE-2019-13012 CVE-2019-14866 CVE-2019-25013 CVE-2020-8231 CVE-2020-8284 CVE-2020-8285 CVE-2020-8286 CVE-2020-8927 CVE-2020-9948 CVE-2020-9951 CVE-2020-9983 CVE-2020-13434 CVE-2020-13543 CVE-2020-13584 CVE-2020-13776 CVE-2020-15358 CVE-2020-24977 CVE-2020-25659 CVE-2020-25678 CVE-2020-26116 CVE-2020-26137 CVE-2020-27618 CVE-2020-27619 CVE-2020-27783 CVE-2020-28196 CVE-2020-29361 CVE-2020-29362 CVE-2020-29363 CVE-2020-36242 CVE-2021-3139 CVE-2021-3177 CVE-2021-3326 CVE-2021-3449 CVE-2021-3450 CVE-2021-3528 CVE-2021-20305 CVE-2021-23239 CVE-2021-23240 CVE-2021-23336 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated images that fix one security issue and several bugs are now available for Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage 4.6.5 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 from Red Hat Container Registry. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. 2. Description: Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage is software-defined storage integrated with and optimized for the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage is a highly scalable, production-grade persistent storage for stateful applications running in the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. In addition to persistent storage, Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage provisions a multicloud data management service with an S3 compatible API. Security Fix(es): * NooBaa: noobaa-operator leaking RPC AuthToken into log files (CVE-2021-3528) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. Bug Fix(es): * Currently, a newly restored PVC cannot be mounted if some of the OpenShift Container Platform nodes are running on a version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux which is less than 8.2, and the snapshot from which the PVC was restored is deleted. Workaround: Do not delete the snapshot from which the PVC was restored until the restored PVC is deleted. (BZ#1962483) * Previously, the default backingstore was not created on AWS S3 when OpenShift Container Storage was deployed, due to incorrect identification of AWS S3. With this update, the default backingstore gets created when OpenShift Container Storage is deployed on AWS S3. (BZ#1927307) * Previously, log messages were printed to the endpoint pod log even if the debug option was not set. With this update, the log messages are printed to the endpoint pod log only when the debug option is set. (BZ#1938106) * Previously, the PVCs could not be provisioned as the `rook-ceph-mds` did not register the pod IP on the monitor servers, and hence every mount on the filesystem timed out, resulting in CephFS volume provisioning failure. With this update, an argument `--public-addr=podIP` is added to the MDS pod when the host network is not enabled, and hence the CephFS volume provisioning does not fail. (BZ#1949558) * Previously, OpenShift Container Storage 4.2 clusters were not updated with the correct cache value, and hence MDSs in standby-replay might report an oversized cache, as rook did not apply the `mds_cache_memory_limit` argument during upgrades. With this update, the `mds_cache_memory_limit` argument is applied during upgrades and the mds daemon operates normally. (BZ#1951348) * Previously, the coredumps were not generated in the correct location as rook was setting the config option `log_file` to an empty string since logging happened on stdout and not on the files, and hence Ceph read the value of the `log_file` to build the dump path. With this update, rook does not set the `log_file` and keeps Ceph's internal default, and hence the coredumps are generated in the correct location and are accessible under `/var/log/ceph/`. (BZ#1938049) * Previously, Ceph became inaccessible, as the mons lose quorum if a mon pod was drained while another mon was failing over. With this update, voluntary mon drains are prevented while a mon is failing over, and hence Ceph does not become inaccessible. (BZ#1946573) * Previously, the mon quorum was at risk, as the operator could erroneously remove the new mon if the operator was restarted during a mon failover. With this update, the operator completes the same mon failover after the operator is restarted, and hence the mon quorum is more reliable in the node drains and mon failover scenarios. (BZ#1959983) All users of Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage are advised to pull these new images from the Red Hat Container Registry. 3. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

Summary: Release of components for the Service Telemetry Framework 2. Description: Service Telemetry Framework (STF) provides automated collection of measurements and data from remote clients, such as Red Hat OpenStack Platform or third-party nodes. Bug fixes: * STF 1.3.3 now supports OpenShift Container Platform 4.8 as an installation platform. (BZ#2013268) * With this update, the servicetelemetrys.infra.watch CRD has a validation that limits the clouds[].name to 10 characters and alphanumeric to avoid issues with extra characters in the cloud name and names being too long. (BZ#2011603) * Previously, when you installed STF without having Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) Operator installed, the following error message was returned: "Failed to find exact match for elasticsearch.k8s.elastic.co/v1beta1.Elasticsearch". The error was as a result of Service Telemetry Operator trying to look up information from a non-existent API interface. With this update, the Service Telemetry Operator verifies that the API exists before it attempts to make requests to the API interface that is provided by ECK. (BZ#1959166) 3. Dockerfiles and scripts should be amended either to refer to this new image specifically, or to the latest image generally.
