Descriptions

A flaw was found in the cert-manager package. This flaw allows an attacker who can modify PEM data that the cert-manager reads, for example, in a Secret resource, to use large amounts of CPU in the cert-manager controller pod to effectively create a denial-of-service (DoS) vector for the cert-manager in the cluster.

Se encontró una falla en el paquete cert-manager. Esta falla permite que un atacante que pueda modificar los datos PEM que lee el cert-manager, por ejemplo, en un recurso secreto, utilice grandes cantidades de CPU en el módulo controlador del cert-manager para crear efectivamente un vector de denegación de servicio (DoS) para el cert-manager en el clúster.
