NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kubevirt-virt-controller-fips-1.6 package and not the kubevirt-virt-controller-fips-1.6 package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

KubeVirt is a virtual machine management add-on for Kubernetes. In 1.5.0 and earlier, the permissions granted to the virt-handler service account, such as the ability to update VMI and patch nodes, could be abused to force a VMI migration to an attacker-controlled node. This vulnerability could otherwise allow an attacker to mark all nodes as unschedulable, potentially forcing the migration or creation of privileged pods onto a compromised node.
