Updates for IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service clusters at version 1.27 or later are available that fix this vulnerability. IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service will attempt to automatically apply the fix to your cluster master. There is no need to update cluster worker nodes for this vulnerability.
To verify your clusters are no longer exposed to this vulnerability, use the following IBM Cloud CLI command to confirm your cluster master versions:
ibmcloud ks clusters
If your cluster masters are at one of the following versions or later, they are no longer exposed to this vulnerability:
If one or more of your clusters has not had its master automatically updated then use the following IBM Cloud CLI command to complete the cluster master update, replacing 1.##
with the target version.
ibmcloud ks cluster master update --cluster <cluster name or ID> --version 1.##
Customers running IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service clusters at version 1.25 or 1.26 must upgrade to version 1.27. Please review the documentation before starting an upgrade since additional actions may be required.
Customers running IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service clusters at version 1.24 or earlier must create a new cluster and deploy their apps to the new cluster. For security reasons, IBM reserves the right to shut down the control planes of such clusters.
IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service versions 1.25 and earlier are no longer supported and version 1.26 is deprecated with end of support tentatively scheduled for 31 May 2024. See the IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service version information and update actions documentation for more information about Kubernetes versions and version support policies.
