CVE-2017-15137: OpenShift lets authorized users import disallowed container images
CVE-2017-15137 · published 8 years ago
Summary
In OpenShift and OpenShift Container Platform, a configuration meant to block certain image sources does not work correctly when users run commands like "oc tag". This can let users pull and run container images from registries that your organization intended to block. Apply the latest security updates, tighten image policy settings, and restrict who can tag or import images to reduce the risk.
