CWE-285  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/cilium/cilium/bpf to version 1.13.1, 1.12.8, 1.11.15 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authorization when routing IPv6 traffic.

Note: This is exploitable only when:

  1. Cilium is routing IPv6 traffic, and

  2. Kube-proxy is used for service handling, and

  3. NodePorts are used to route traffic to pods.

Cilium's kube-proxy replacement feature is not affected by this vulnerability.

Workaround

Disable IPv6 routing (IPv6 is disabled by default).
