Upgrade github.com/cilium/cilium to version 1.9.16, 1.10.11, 1.11.5 or higher.
Overview
github.com/cilium/cilium is an open source software for providing and transparently securing network connectivity and loadbalancing between application workloads such as application containers or processes.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Privilege Escalation when an attacker is able to perform a container escape of a container running as root on a host where Cilium is installed. The attacker can leverage Cilium's Kubernetes service account to gain access to cluster privileges that are more permissive than what is minimally required to operate Cilium. Exploiting this vulnerability allows modification and deletion of Pod and Node resources.
