Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-6779-03 - Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.10.6 General Availability release images, which fix bugs and update container images.

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new malware campaign targeting Linux environments to conduct illicit cryptocurrency mining. The activity, which specifically singles out the Oracle Weblogic server, is designed to deliver malware dubbed Hadooken, according to cloud security firm Aqua. "When Hadooken is executed, it drops a Tsunami malware and deploys a crypto miner," security researcher

An attacker is using the tool to deploy a cryptominer and the Tsunami DDoS bot on compromised systems.

Deploying a Red Hat OpenShift Operator in an environment with internet access is typically straightforward. However, in industries like cyber security or the military sector, where security concerns often prohibit internet access, the process becomes more complex. In a disconnected or air-gapped environment, internet access is usually restricted or unavailable.In this article, I demonstrate the process of deploying an operator in a disconnected environment. I use the recent Red Hat OpenShift AI operator for this example, because the use of artificial intelligence is becoming crucial to many en

### Impact The Bare Metal Operator (BMO) implements a Kubernetes API for managing bare metal hosts in Metal3. The `BareMetalHost` (BMH) CRD allows the `userData`, `metaData`, and `networkData` for the provisioned host to be specified as links to Kubernetes Secrets. There are fields for both the `Name` and `Namespace` of the Secret, meaning that the baremetal-operator will read a `Secret` from any namespace. A user with access to create or edit a `BareMetalHost` can thus exfiltrate a `Secret` from another namespace by using it as e.g. the `userData` for provisioning some host (note that this need not be a real host, it could be a VM somewhere). ### Limiting factors BMO will only read a key with the name `value` (or `userData`, `metaData`, or `networkData`), so that limits the exposure somewhat. `value` is probably a pretty common key though. Secrets used by _other_ `BareMetalHost`s in different namespaces are always vulnerable. It is probably relatively unusual for anyone other than c...
