Kyverno vulnerable due to usage of insecure cipher

Summary

Insecure 3DES ciphers are used which may lead to exploitation of the Sweet32 vulnerability. Specifically, the ciphers TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA (secp256r1) and TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA (rsa 2048) are allowed. See CVE-2016-2183. This is fixed in Kyverno v1.9.5 and v1.10.0 and no known users have been affected.

Details

The ciphers in affected versions can be read using the following command which uses nmap:

$ kubectl exec -it mypod -n kyverno sh 
kubectl exec [POD] [COMMAND] is DEPRECATED and will be removed in a future version. Use kubectl exec [POD] -- [COMMAND] instead.
**nmap -sV --script ssl-enum-ciphers -p 443 kyverno-cleanup-controller** or  
**nmap -sV --script ssl-enum-ciphers -p 443 kyverno-svc**
