Descriptions

The API server in Kubernetes does not properly check admission control, which allows remote authenticated users to access additional resources via a crafted patched object.

El servidor API en Kubernetes no comprueba correctamente el control de admisión, lo que permite a usuarios remotos autenticados acceder a recursos adicionales a través de un objeto parcheado manipulado.

An authorization flaw was discovered in Kubernetes; the API server did not properly check user permissions when handling certain requests. An authenticated remote attacker could use this flaw to gain additional access to resources such as RAM and disk space.
