Description

It was found that volume security can be sidestepped with innocent emptyDir and subpath. This could give an attacker with access to a pod full control over the node host by gaining access to docker socket.

Statement

This flaw allows a pod to mount any part of the host filesystem. The pod will run with the security contraints placed on the user but could read anything with o=rx mode and appropriate SELinux label.
