Kubernetes fails to validate object name types before passing the data to etcd. As the etcd service generates keys based on the object name type this can lead to a directory path traversal.

Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2015:1945 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: kubernetes security update 2015-10-27 22:41:38 UTC

Description Kurt Seifried 2015-10-21 15:32:41 UTC 
Jordan Liggitt of Red Hat reports:

No validation is performed on the names of some object types. Because the etcd 
key is built directly from the object name, this allows path traversal when 
writing data.
