NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kubevirt-manifests package and not the kubevirt-manifests package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

KubeVirt is a virtual machine management add-on for Kubernetes. Prior to 1.5.3 and 1.6.1, due to the peer verification logic in virt-handler (via verifyPeerCert), an attacker who compromises a virt-handler instance, could exploit these shared credentials to impersonate virt-api and execute privileged operations against other virt-handler instances potentially compromising the integrity and availability of the VM managed by it. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.5.3 and 1.6.1.
