Security information needs based on a publication Linux kernel bug delivers corrupt TCP/IP data to Mesos, Kubernetes, Docker containers

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • As per https://tech.vijayp.ca/linux-kernel-bug-delivers-corrupt-tcp-ip-data-to-mesos-kubernetes-docker-containers-4986f88f7a19#.uxzzlbvb8
    The Linux Kernel has a bug that causes containers that use veth devices for network routing (such as Docker on IPv6, Kubernetes, Google Container Engine, and Mesos) to not check TCP checksums. This results in applications incorrectly receiving corrupt data in a number of situations, such as with bad networking hardware.

  • Are we exposed to that issue on RHEL 7.2 : OSE 3.1 ?
