One of the key components of a container-based architecture is security.There are many facets to it (just have a look at the list of topics in the official OpenShift documentation here), but some of the most basic requirements are authentication and authorization. In this article, I explain how authentication and authorization work in Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift. I cover interactions between the different layers of a Kubernetes ecosystem, including the infrastructure layer, Kubernetes layer, and the containerized applications layer.What is authentication and authorization?In simple terms,

During account assignment in the Talk2M platform, a Cosy+ device generates and sends a certificate signing request (CSR) to the back end. This CSR is then signed by the manufacturer and used for OpenVPN authentication by the device afterward. Since the common name (CN) of the certificate is specified by the device and used in order to assign the OpenVPN session to the corresponding Talk2M account, an attacker with root access to a Cosy+ device is able to manipulate the CSR and get correctly signed certificates for foreign devices.

The Ewon Cosy+ is a VPN gateway used for remote access and maintenance in industrial environments. Due to improper neutralization of parameters read from a user-controlled configuration file, an authenticated attacker is able to inject and execute OS commands on the device.

The following presentation at this year's DEF CON was brought to our attention on the SQLx Discord: > SQL Injection isn't Dead: Smuggling Queries at the Protocol Level > <http://web.archive.org/web/20240812130923/https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2032/DEF%20CON%2032%20presentations/DEF%20CON%2032%20-%20Paul%20Gerste%20-%20SQL%20Injection%20Isn't%20Dead%20Smuggling%20Queries%20at%20the%20Protocol%20Level.pdf> > (Archive link for posterity.) Essentially, encoding a value larger than 4GiB can cause the length prefix in the protocol to overflow, causing the server to interpret the rest of the string as binary protocol commands or other data. It appears SQLx _does_ perform truncating casts in a way that could be problematic, for example: <https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/blob/6f2905695b9606b5f51b40ce10af63ac9e696bb8/sqlx-postgres/src/arguments.rs#L163> This code has existed essentially since the beginning, so it is reasonable to assume that all published versions `<= 0.8.0` a...

The Ewon Cosy+ is a VPN gateway used for remote access and maintenance in industrial environments. If login against the FTP service of the Cosy+ fails, the submitted username is saved in a log. This log is included in the Cosy+ web interface without neutralizing the content. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker is able to inject HTML/JavaScript code via the username of an FTP login attempt.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5750-1 - Support for the "strict kex" SSH extension has been backported to AsyncSSH (a Python implementation of the SSHv2 protocol) as hardening against the Terrapin attack.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-5547-03 - Updated images that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation 4.16.1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 from Red Hat Container Registry. Issues addressed include a denial of service vulnerability.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-5537-03 - An update is now available for the Red Hat build of Cryostat 3 on RHEL 8. Issues addressed include a denial of service vulnerability.
