CVE-2022-2835

Description

A flaw was found in coreDNS. This flaw allows a malicious user to reroute internal calls to some internal services that were accessed by the FQDN in a format of ..svc.

Mitigation

Consider adding the svc namespace to the DNS operator to prevent a low-privileged user from creating it. Alternatively, add a default admission controller to prevent this namespace from being created by a non-privileged user.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details

Info alert:Important note

CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
