Type/Severity

Security Advisory: Moderate

Topic

An update for jenkins-2-plugins, openshift-clients, podman, runc, and skopeo is now available for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.6.

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.

Description

The podman tool manages pods, container images, and containers. It is part of the libpod library, which is for applications that use container pods. Container pods is a concept in Kubernetes.

The runC tool is a lightweight, portable implementation of the Open Container Format (OCF) that provides container runtime.

The skopeo command lets you inspect images from container image registries, get images and image layers, and use signatures to create and verify files.

Security Fix(es):

• jenkins-jira-plugin: plugin information disclosure (CVE-2019-16541)
• jenkins-2-plugins/mailer: Missing hostname validation in Mailer Plugin could result in MITM (CVE-2020-2252)
• jenkins-2-plugins/blueocean: Path traversal vulnerability in Blue Ocean Plugin could allow to read arbitrary files (CVE-2020-2254)
• jenkins-2-plugins/blueocean: Blue Ocean Plugin does not perform permission checks in several HTTP endpoints implementing connection tests. (CVE-2020-2255)
• kubernetes: Docker config secrets leaked when file is malformed and loglevel >= 4 (CVE-2020-8564)
• golang.org/x/text: possibility to trigger an infinite loop in encoding/unicode could lead to crash (CVE-2020-14040)
• podman: environment variables leak between containers when started via Varlink or Docker-compatible REST API (CVE-2020-14370)
• golang: ReadUvarint and ReadVarint can read an unlimited number of bytes from invalid inputs (CVE-2020-16845)
