- Severity: CVSS 4.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2018-04-16 · Updated: 2024-08-06

## Affected

- unspecified openshift: openshift 3.3.1.11, openshift 3.2.1.23, openshift 3.4

## Description

openshift before versions 3.3.1.11, 3.2.1.23, 3.4 is vulnerable to a flaw when a volume fails to detach, which causes the delete operation to fail with 'VolumeInUse' error. Since the delete operation is retried every 30 seconds for each volume, this could lead to a denial of service attack as the number of API requests being sent to the cloud-provider exceeds the API's rate-limit.

## What to do
