GHSA-v455-mv2v-5g92 Fission Container Executor Function PodSpec Injection Leading to Node Escape

• Go github.com/fission/fission: < 1.24.0 → fixed in 1.24.0

Summary Fission's Container Executor path lets a tenant supply `Function.spec.podspec` directly; the executor merges it into the executor-built podspec and creates a Deployment whose pods run the user's container image. Details Two flaws compounded: 1. `pkg/apis/core/v1/validation.go::FunctionSpec.Validate` only checked that `spec.PodSpec != nil` when `executorType: container`; it did not inspect the content of `spec.PodSpec`. 2. `pkg/executor/util/merge.go::MergePodSpec` unconditionally forwarded `hostPID`, `hostNetwork`, `hostIPC`, hostPath volumes, `serviceAccountName`, and container `privileged` into the Deployment spec via the container-executor sink (`pkg/executor/executortype/container/deployment.go::getDeploymentSpec`). A tenant with only `functions.fission.io/create` could deploy a Function with a crafted podspec that mounted the host root filesystem and shared host namespaces. The executor — running under its high-privilege SA, which holds `deployments/create` on the function namespace — created that Deployment on the tenant's behalf, turning Function-create into effective `deployments/create` with arbitrary pod-security configuration. This is the Function-CRD sibling of GHSA-gx55-f84r-v3r7 / GHSA-wmgg-3p4h-48x7, with a lower attack threshold: regular function developers typically hold `functions/create` but not `environments/create`. Impact A tenant with only `functions.fission.io/create` is escalated to node escape via a privileged, host-namespace pod scheduled by the executor. Fix Fixed in #3391 and released in v1.24.0. • `FunctionSpec.Validate` now calls `ValidatePodSpecSafety("Function.spec.podspec", spec.PodSpec)` after the existing `spec.PodSpec == nil` check. • The Function validating webhook is already registered on `verbs=create;update`, so it picks up the new validation with no marker change. • The same merge-layer strip and per-container sanitize used for the Environment path applies here, since the container-executor sink calls `util.MergePodSpec`. See GHSA-gx55-f84r-v3r7 for the detailed fix. Behavioural change Functions whose `spec.podspec` sets host namespaces, hostPath volumes, container `privileged`/`allowPrivilegeEscalation`, dangerous Linux capabilities, or a `serviceAccountName` override are now rejected at admission. Legitimate container-executor functions that set `image`, `command`, `args`, `env`, `resources`, `nodeSelector`, `tolerations`, `affinity`, non-hostPath `volumes`, or `volumeMounts` are unaffected.
