SUSE has released a critical security patch for Kubernetes 1.28 (CVE-2025-22872) affecting trailing solidus handling in foreign content. Learn patch instructions, CVSS 6.5 impact analysis, and affected products including Containers Module 15-SP6 and openSUSE Leap 15.4.
How to Mitigate Moderate-Risk Vulnerability in Kubernetes 1.28
CVE-2025-22872 Vulnerability Overview
A newly disclosed vulnerability (CVSS 6.5) in Kubernetes 1.28 could allow attackers to exploit improper handling of unquoted attribute values in foreign content. This moderate-risk flaw affects:
SUSE Containers Module 15-SP6
openSUSE Leap 15.4
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP6
Why This Matters: Unpatched systems risk data integrity breaches via crafted input vectors. Enterprise environments running containerized workloads are particularly vulnerable.
Patch Instructions for SUSE Systems
Method 1: Recommended Update Channels
# For Containers Module 15-SP6: zypper in -t patch SUSE-SLE-Module-Containers-15-SP6-2025-2350=1 # For openSUSE Leap 15.4: zypper in -t patch SUSE-2025-2350=1
Method 2: GUI Tools
Use YaST Online Update for automated patching
Enterprise users: Deploy via SUSE Manager for centralized control
Pro Tip: Test patches in staging environments before production rollout.
Affected Packages & CVSS Breakdown
| Product | Package | CVSS v3.1 |
|---|---|---|
| Containers Module 15-SP6 | kubernetes1.28-client-1.28.13 | 6.5 (SUSE) |
| openSUSE Leap 15.4 | kubernetes1.28-kubelet-1.28.13 | 6.5 (NVD) |
Technical Impact:
Attack Vector: Network (AV:N)
Exploit Complexity: High (AC:H)
Privileges Required: None (PR:N)
Mitigation Strategies Beyond Patching
Network Segmentation: Limit kubelet API exposure
RBAC Hardening: Restrict foreign content processing roles
Runtime Monitoring: Deploy Falco rules for anomalous attribute handling
"Kubernetes security patches should be prioritized within 72 hours for CVSS 6.0+ vulnerabilities"* — SUSE Security Team
