Overview

github.com/kubernetes/apimachinery/pkg/util/proxy is a Package proxy provides transport and upgrade support for proxies.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Privilege Escalation. Incorrect handling of error responses to proxied upgrade requests in the kube-apiserver allowed specially crafted requests to establish a connection through the Kubernetes API server to backend servers, then send arbitrary requests over the same connection directly to the backend, authenticated with the Kubernetes API server's TLS credentials used to establish the backend connection.
