Descriptions

The API server in Kubernetes, as used in Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 3.2, in a multi tenant environment allows remote authenticated users with knowledge of other project names to obtain sensitive project and user information via vectors related to the watch-cache list.

El servidor API en Kubernetes, como es utilizado en Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 3.2, en un entorno de múltiples usuarios permite a usuarios remotos autenticados con conocimiento de nombres de otros proyectos obtener información sensible de proyectos y usuarios a través de vectores relacionados con la lista watch-cache.

The Kubernetes API server contains a watch cache that speeds up performance. Due to an input validation error OpenShift Enterprise may return data for other users and projects when queried by a user. An attacker with knowledge of other project names could use this vulnerability to view their information.
