cert-manager - v1.13.3

Security

cert-manager is the easiest way to automatically manage certificates in Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters.

⚠️ Read about the breaking changes in cert-manager 1.13 before you upgrade from a < v1.13 version!

This patch release contains fixes for the following security vulnerabilities in the cert-manager-controller:
- GO-2023-2334: Decryption of malicious PBES2 JWE objects can consume unbounded system resources.

If you use ArtifactHub Security report or trivy, this patch will also silence the following warning about a vulnerability in code which is imported but not used by the cert-manager-controller:
- CVE-2023-47108: DoS vulnerability in otelgrpc due to unbound cardinality metrics.

An ongoing security audit of cert-manager suggested some changes to the webhook code to mitigate DoS attacks, and these are included in this patch release.

Changes

Bug or Regression

  • The webhook server now returns HTTP error 413 (Content Too Large) for requests with body size >= 3MiB. This is to mitigate DoS attacks that attempt to crash the webhook process by sending large requests that exceed the available memory. (#6507, @inteon)
  • The webhook server now returns HTTP error 400 (Bad Request) if the request contains an empty body. (#6507, @inteon)
  • The webhook server now returns HTTP error 500 (Internal Server Error) rather than crashing, if the code panics while handling a request. (#6507, @inteon)
  • Mitigate potential "Slowloris" attacks by setting ReadHeaderTimeout in all http.Server instances. (#6538, @wallrj)
  • Upgrade Go modules: otel, docker, and jose to fix CVE alerts. See https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-8pgv-569h-w5rw, https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-jq35-85cj-fj4p, and https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-2c7c-3mj9-8fqh. (#6514, @inteon)
