medium Nessus Plugin ID 140401

Synopsis

The remote host contains an application affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of Kubernetes installed on the remote host is a version prior to 1.13.10, or 1.14.x prior to 1.14.6, or 1.15.x prior to 1.15.3. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
