Descriptions

In Kubernetes clusters using Ceph RBD as a storage provisioner, with logging level of at least 4, Ceph RBD admin secrets can be written to logs. This occurs in kube-controller-manager's logs during provisioning of Ceph RBD persistent claims. This affects < v1.19.3, < v1.18.10, < v1.17.13.

En los clústeres de Kubernetes que usan Ceph RBD como aprovisionador de almacenamiento, con un nivel de registro de al menos 4, los secretos de administración de Ceph RBD se pueden escribir en los registros. Esto ocurre en los registros de kube-controller-manager durante el aprovisionamiento de notificaciones persistentes de Ceph RBD. Esto afecta a versiones anteriores a v1.19.3, anteriores a v1.18.10, anteriores a v1.17.13
