RHSA-2021:0281: Important: OpenShift Container Platform 4.4.33 bug fix and security update

First published: Wed Feb 03 2021(Updated: )

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is Red Hat's cloud computing<br>Kubernetes application platform solution designed for on-premise or private<br>cloud deployments.<br>Security Fix(es):<br><li> openshift: builder allows read and write of block devices (CVE-2021-20182)</li> <li> kubernetes: Compromised node could escalate to cluster level privileges (CVE-2020-8559)</li> <li> kubernetes: Docker config secrets leaked when file is malformed and loglevel &gt;= 4 (CVE-2020-8564)</li> For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.<br>This advisory contains the container images for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.4.33. See the following advisory for the RPM packages for this release:<br><a href="https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:0282" target="_blank">https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:0282</a> Space precludes documenting all of the container images in this advisory. See the following Release Notes documentation, which will be updated shortly for this release, for details about these changes:<br><a href="https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.4/release_notes/ocp-4-4-release-notes.html" target="_blank">https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.4/release_notes/ocp-4-4-release-notes.html</a> This update fixes the following bugs among others:<br><li> Previously, there were broken connections to the API server that caused nodes to remain in the NotReady state. Detecting a broken network connection could take up to 15 minutes, during which the platform would remain unavailable. This is now fixed by setting the TCP_USER_TIMEOUT socket option, which controls how long transmitted data can be unacknowledged before the connection is forcefully closed. (BZ#1907939)</li> <li> Previously, the quota controllers only worked on resources retrieved from the discovery endpoint, which might contain only a fraction of all resources due to a network error. This is now fixed by having the quota controllers periodically resync when new resources are observed from the discovery endpoint. (BZ#1910096)</li> <li> Previously, the kuryr-controller was comparing security groups related to</li> network policies incorrectly. This caused security rules related to a<br>network policy to be recreated on every minor update of that network<br>policy. This bug has been fixed, allowing network policy updates that<br>already have existing rules to be preserved; network policy additions or<br>deletions are performed, if needed. (BZ#1910221)<br>You may download the oc tool and use it to inspect release image metadata as follows:<br>(For x86_64 architecture)<br>$ oc adm release info quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.4.33-x86_64<br>The image digest is sha256:a035dddd8a5e5c99484138951ef4aba021799b77eb9046f683a5466c23717738<br>(For s390x architecture)<br>$ oc adm release info quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.4.33-s390x<br>The image digest is sha256:ecc1e5aaf8496dd60a7703562fd6c65541172a56ae9008fce6db5d55e43371dc<br>(For ppc64le architecture)<br>$ oc adm release info quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.4.33-ppc64le<br>The image digest is sha256:567bf8031c80b08e3e56a57e1c8e5b0b01a2f922e01b36ee333f6ab5bff95495<br>All OpenShift Container Platform 4.4 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages and images when they are available in the appropriate release channel.
