An update of the kubernetes package has been released.

  • A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes where a user may be able to create a container with subpath volume mounts to access files & directories outside of the volume, including on the host filesystem.
    (CVE-2021-25741)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationโ€™s self-reported version number.
