Summary
NVIDIA AIStore framework versions from 0 to 4.9 are affected. The legacy ETL Kubernetes PodSpec initialization API lets a remote attacker supply host-namespace and container-security settings, an execution with unnecessary privileges flaw (CWE-250). An unauthenticated attacker needs no user interaction, and successful exploitation may lead to code execution, privilege escalation, information disclosure, data tampering, and denial of service.
