Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM API Connect has addressed the following vulnerability.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2019-9946
DESCRIPTION: Kubernetes could provide weaker than expected security, caused by an interaction when paired with the embedded CNI (Container Networking Interface) that uses the portmap plugin. The portmap plugin inserts rules at the front of the iptables nat chains which would take precedence over the KUBE- SERVICES chain. The HostPort/portmap rule allows for matching of incoming traffic even if there are better fitting.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
