NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-modules-partner package and not the kernel-rt-modules-partner package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Users may be able to launch containers that bypass the mountable secrets policy enforced by the ServiceAccount admission plugin when using ephemeral containers. The policy ensures pods running with a service account may only reference secrets specified in the service account’s secrets field. Kubernetes clusters are only affected if the ServiceAccount admission plugin and the kubernetes.io/enforce-mountable-secrets annotation are used together with ephemeral containers.
