CVE-2024-0793: Kubernetes Nil pointer dereference in KCM after v1 HPA patch request

November 17, 2024 (updated November 19, 2024)

A flaw was found in kube-controller-manager. This issue occurs when the initial application of a HPA config YAML lacking a .spec.behavior.scaleUp block causes a denial of service due to KCM pods going into restart churn.
