GHSA-2h44-x2wx-49f4
Potential HTTP policy bypass when using header rules in Cilium
Quick fix
GHSA-2h44-x2wx-49f4 — github.com/cilium/cilium: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
go get github.com/cilium/cilium@v1.11.16Details
### Impact
This issue only impacts users who:
- Have a HTTP policy that applies to multiple `toEndpoints` AND - Have an allow-all rule in place that affects only one of those endpoints
In such cases, a wildcard rule will be appended to the set of HTTP rules, which could cause bypass of HTTP policies.
### Patches
This issue has been patched in Cilium 1.11.16, 1.12.9, and 1.13.2.
### Workarounds
Rewrite HTTP rules for each endpoint separately. For example, if the initial rule looks like:
``` egress: - toEndpoints: - matchLabels: k8s:kind: echo - matchLabels: k8s:kind: example toPorts: - ports: - port: "8080" protocol: TCP rules: http: - method: "GET" ```
It should be rewritten to: ``` egress: - toEndpoints: - matchLabels: k8s:kind: echo toPorts: - ports: - port: "8080" protocol: TCP rules: http: - method: "GET" - toEndpoints: - matchLabels: k8s:kind: example toPorts: - ports: - port: "8080" protocol: TCP rules: http: - method: "GET" ```
### Acknowledgements
The Cilium community has worked together with members of Isovalent to prepare these mitigations. Special thanks to @jrajahalme for investigating and fixing the issue.
