NewCVE-2024-52529 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade github.com/cilium/cilium/pkg/policy to version 1.16.4 or higher.
Overview
github.com/cilium/cilium/pkg/policy is a package for eBPF-based Networking, Security, and Observability
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions which allows attackers to bypass Layer 7 policy enforcement by sending traffic that matches the Layer 7 policy but is within the broader Layer 3 port range.
Note:
This is only exploitable if the user have an allow policy that selects a Layer 3 destination and a port range in addition of a Layer 7 allow policy that selects a specific port within the first policy's range.
This issue only affects users who use Cilium's port range functionality
Workaround
Users who are enabled to upgrade to the fixed version are advised to rewrite any policies that use port ranges to individually specify the ports permitted for traffic.
