Description Sam Fowler 2018-10-31 02:09:27 UTC

SaltStack Salt before 2017.7.8 and 2018.3.x before 2018.3.3 allow remote attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands via salt-api(netapi).

Comment 2 Jason Shepherd 2018-10-31 05:21:28 UTC

Until release 1.9 of Kubernetes there where configuration files for installing Kubernetes via Saltstack included in the Kubernetes repository. However the only supported configuration management solution for OpenShift Container Platform 3.x is Ansible [2], therefore OpenShift Container Platform 3.x is not affected by this issue.
