- Cloud Foundry BOSH stemcells 3146.x versions prior to 3146.19 AND 3232.x versions prior to 3232.16 AND other versions prior to 3262.8 are vulnerable
- All versions of Cloud Foundry cflinuxfs2 prior to v.1.73.0
Mitigation
Users of affected versions should apply the following mitigation:
- The Cloud Foundry team has released patched BOSH stemcells 3146.19 and 3232.16 with an upgraded Linux kernel that resolves the aforementioned issues. We recommend that Operators upgrade BOSH stemcell 3146.x versions to 3146.19 OR 3232.x versions to 3232.16
- The Cloud Foundry project recommends that Cloud Foundry deployments run with cflinuxfs2 v.1.73.0 or later versions
