CVE-2019-14891
An attacker could abuse this flaw to get host network access on an cri-o host.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.80%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
A flaw was found in cri-o, as a result of all pod-related processes being placed in the same memory cgroup. This can result in container management (conmon) processes being killed if a workload process triggers an out-of-memory (OOM) condition for the cgroup. An attacker could abuse this flaw to get host network access on an cri-o host.
