Descriptions

Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 3.2 allows remote authenticated users to read log files from another namespace by using the same name as a previously deleted namespace when creating a new namespace.

Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 3.2 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados leer archivos de registro de otro espacio de nombre utilizando el mismo nombre que un espacio de nombre que haya sido eliminado cuando se crea un nuevo espacio de nombre.

It was found that OpenShift Enterprise would disclose log file contents from reclaimed namespaces. An attacker could create a new namespace to access log files present in a previously deleted namespace using the same name.

OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat is the company's cloud computing Platform- as-a-Service solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments. Security Fix: A flaw was found in the building of containers within OpenShift Enterprise. An attacker could submit an image for building that executes commands within the container as root, allowing them to potentially escalate privileges.
