Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This is a legacy Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise issue where local users could abuse temporary-file handling in analytics import/export tools. The public record does not describe the exact impact, severity score, or fixed version, so urgency depends on whether OpenShift Enterprise 1 or 2 remains present.
Executive priority
Prioritize as a legacy asset and local-access risk. It is not supported by the provided evidence as an internet-wide emergency, but unsupported OpenShift 1 or 2 systems should be retired or isolated.
Technical view
CVE-2013-4364 affects oo-analytics-export and oo-analytics-import in openshift-origin-broker-util for Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 1 and 2. The flaw is described as a symlink attack involving an unspecified file in /tmp, reachable by local users. Impact and CWE are not specified.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to systems running the listed legacy OpenShift Enterprise versions with the affected openshift-origin-broker-util package installed and local user access available.
Exploitation context
The supplied sources do not show KEV listing, active exploitation, exploit availability, CVSS, or precise impact. Treat exploitation as local, based only on the CVE description.
Researcher notes
The record lacks affected file name, exploit mechanics, CVSS, CWE, patch version, and impact detail. Analysis should stay scoped to the named Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise components and avoid assuming privilege escalation or remote reachability.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory for Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 1 or 2 systems.
- Check Red Hat Bugzilla and vendor errata for affected package guidance.
- Remove or upgrade unsupported legacy OpenShift deployments where possible.
- Limit local shell access to trusted administrators only.
- Review temporary-file hardening with platform owners.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether openshift-origin-broker-util is installed on legacy OpenShift hosts.
- Check for oo-analytics-export and oo-analytics-import on affected systems.
- Verify whether any vendor-provided fixed package was applied.
- Review local user access on OpenShift broker hosts.
- Document compensating controls where vendor guidance is unavailable.
