Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise release 3.1.1 is now available with updates to packages that fix several security issues, bugs and introduce feature enhancements.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat is the company's cloud computing Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments.

The following security issues are addressed with this release :

An authorization flaw was discovered in Kubernetes; the API server did not properly check user permissions when handling certain requests. An authenticated remote attacker could use this flaw to gain additional access to resources such as RAM and disk space. (CVE-2016-1905)

An authorization flaw was discovered in Kubernetes; the API server did not properly check user permissions when handling certain build- configuration strategies. A remote attacker could create build configurations with strategies that violate policy. Although the attacker could not launch the build themselves (launch fails when the policy is violated), if the build configuration files were later launched by other privileged services (such as automated triggers), user privileges could be bypassed allowing attacker escalation.
(CVE-2016-1906)

An update for Jenkins Continuous Integration Server that addresses a large number of security issues including XSS, CSRF, information disclosure and code execution have been addressed as well.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:1844 advisory.

    OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat is the company's cloud computing     Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution designed for on-premise or     private cloud deployments.

    See the OpenShift Enterprise Technical Notes, which will be updated     shortly for release 2.2.7, for details about these changes. The     following security issues are addressed in this release:

    A flaw was found in the Jenkins API token-issuing service. The     service was not properly protected against anonymous users,     potentially allowing remote attackers to escalate privileges.
    (CVE-2015-1814)

    It was found that the combination filter Groovy script could allow     a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code on a     Jenkins master. (CVE-2015-1806)

    It was found that when building artifacts, the Jenkins server would     follow symbolic links, potentially resulting in disclosure of     information on the server. (CVE-2015-1807)

    A denial of service flaw was found in the way Jenkins handled     certain update center data. An authenticated user could provide     specially crafted update center data to Jenkins, causing plug-in     and tool installation to not work properly. (CVE-2015-1808)

    It was found that Jenkins' XPath handling allowed XML External     Entity (XXE) expansion. A remote attacker with read access could     use this flaw to read arbitrary XML files on the Jenkins server.
    (CVE-2015-1809)

    It was discovered that the internal Jenkins user database did not     restrict access to reserved names, allowing users to escalate     privileges. (CVE-2015-1810)

    It was found that Jenkins' XML handling allowed XML External Entity     (XXE) expansion. A remote attacker with the ability to pass XML     data to Jenkins could use this flaw to read arbitrary XML files on     the Jenkins server. (CVE-2015-1811)

    Two cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in Jenkins. A     remote  attacker could use these flaws to conduct XSS attacks     against users of an application using Jenkins. (CVE-2015-1812,     CVE-2015-1813)

    https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/OpenShift_Enterprise/2/html-     single/Technical_Notes/index.html     All OpenShift Enterprise 2 users are advised to upgrade to these     updated packages.
