NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kubernetes package and not the kubernetes package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes where actors that control the responses of MutatingWebhookConfiguration or ValidatingWebhookConfiguration requests are able to redirect kube-apiserver requests to private networks of the apiserver. If that user can view kube-apiserver logs when the log level is set to 10, they can view the redirected responses and headers in the logs.
