Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.48%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A security issue was discovered in ingress-nginx where the validating admission controller feature is subject to a denial of service condition. By sending large requests to the validating admission controller, an attacker can cause memory consumption, which may result in the ingress-nginx controller pod being killed or the node running out of memory.
