CVSS 3.1
6.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2019-1002100
Medium (6.5). EPSS 17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in k8s.io/kubernetes 1.11.8, 1.12.6, 1.13.4.
In all Kubernetes versions prior to v1.11.8, v1.12.6, and v1.13.4, users that are authorized to make patch requests to the Kubernetes API Server can send a specially crafted patch of type "json-patch" (e.g. `kubectl patch --type json` or `"Content-Type: application/json-patch+json"`) that consumes excessive resources while processing, causing a Denial of Service on the API Server.
