Security Bulletin: API Connect V2018 is impacted by a security degradation vulnerability in Kubernetes (CVE-2019-9946)

Summary

IBM API Connect has addressed the following vulnerability.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2019-9946
**DESCRIPTION:*Kubernetes could provide weaker than expected security, caused by an interaction when paired with the embedded CNI (Container Networking Interface) that uses the portmap plugin. The portmap plugin inserts rules at the front of the iptables nat chains which would take precedence over the KUBE- SERVICES chain. The HostPort/portmap rule allows for matching of incoming traffic even if there are better fitting.
