3. Description:

OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat is the company's cloud computing
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution designed for on-premise or 
private cloud deployments.

An authorization flaw was discovered in Kubernetes; the API server did 
not properly check user permissions when handling certain requests. An
authenticated remote attacker could use this flaw to gain additional 
access to resources such as RAM and disk space. (CVE-2016-1905)

An authorization flaw was discovered in Kubernetes; the API server did 
not properly check user permissions when handling certain build
configuration strategies. A remote attacker could create build 
configurations with strategies that violate policy. Although the attacker
could not launch the build themselves (launch fails when the 
policy is violated), if the build configuration files were later 
launched by other privileged services (such as automated triggers), 
user privileges could be bypassed allowing attacker escalation. 
(CVE-2016-1906)

All OpenShift Enterprise 3.0 users are advised to upgrade to these 
updated packages.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
