Can not Upgrade AKS worker nodes to protect against CVE-2021-25741


I was trying to upgrade my Azure AKS to protect against CVE-2021-25741.

I had seen that the following versions are affected:

Affected Versions

I cannot upgrade my cluster to any of the versions above.

When I run the following command

az aks get-versions --location westeurope --output table

I get this:

Azure Versions

So the question is how can I upgrade to a non-affected version.


Solution

  • you have to wait until the AKS Team is releasing a Kubernetes Version were this is fixed.

    Until then, you can leverage Azure Policy & Gatekeeper to mitigate the attack scenario: https://sysdig.com/blog/cve-2021-25741-kubelet-falco/
