Summary

CVE remediation + light container/filesystem hardening, scoped to be a safe drop-in. Built on top of merged #23 (upstream sync). Cherry-picks the security-only pieces from #17; defers wider k8s/controller-runtime bumps, kne version subcommand, and the golangci-lint v2 rewrite to follow-ups.

Commit 1: deps bump (CVE fixes)

Module From To Fixes
golang.org/x/net v0.47.0 v0.55.0 GO-2026-5026, 4918
golang.org/x/crypto v0.45.0 v0.52.0 GO-2026-5013/5015/5017/5018/5019/5020/5021
google.golang.org/grpc v1.65.0 v1.79.3 GO-2026-4762
github.com/docker/docker v28.1.1 v28.5.2 (latest)

Added toolchain go1.25.10 to go.modgo build auto-fetches the patched stdlib. Resolves 8 more stdlib CVEs (crypto/x509 GO-2026-4946/4947, crypto/tls GO-2026-4870, html/template GO-2026-4865/4980/4982, net GO-2026-4971, net/http GO-2026-4918).

Remaining (unfixable): two github.com/docker/docker server-side CVEs (GO-2026-4883, GO-2026-4887) with Fixed in: N/A upstream. kne uses docker only as a client; neither is reachable.

govulncheck: 19 → 2 vulns.

Commit 2: hardening

Cherry-picked from #17:

Filesystem permissions (closes the world-writable /tmp/kne finding):

  • deploy/deploy.go: MkdirAll("/tmp/kne", os.ModePerm)0750
  • topo/node/node.go: hostPath config tempdir 06660750

Container hardening:

  • init_wait/Dockerfile — non-root kne user
  • x/webhook/Dockerfile.webhookgcr.io/distroless/static-debian12:nonroot
  • x/wire/forward/Dockerfile — multi-stage distroless, pin golang:1.25.8, CGO_ENABLED=0
  • deploy/gobgp/Dockerfile — pin ubuntu:24.04, --no-install-recommends, non-root user, clean apt cache
  • deploy/ubuntu/Dockerfile — pin ubuntu:24.04, --no-install-recommends, ca-certificates

Drivenets node bug fix:

  • topo/node/drivenets/drivenets.go — only apply Azure LB annotations on AKS. Previously applied unconditionally, triggering a 10-min poll on non-AKS clusters and emitting a misleading Azure AKS detected log line every run.

CI fix:

  • .github/workflows/go.yml — switch Build and Test from openconfig common-ci Go 1.21 matrix to inline Go 1.25 build/test. The old workflow can't compile our module (now declares go 1.25.0 with toolchain go1.25.10); this is why sync: merge openconfig/kne upstream main (May 2026) #23 had to be admin-merged. The super-linter linter job is kept as-is.

Validation

  • go mod tidy clean
  • go build ./... clean
  • go vet ./... clean
  • go test -short ./... passes except the pre-existing cisco, juniper, cloudbuild/vendors failures (need external scrapli devices / ondatra testbed; identical on stock upstream/main).
  • govulncheck ./... — 19 → 2 (only the unfixed docker daemon ones).

Explicitly NOT included (deferred)

  • kne version subcommand + version/ package — pure feature
  • Wider go.mod bumps: k8s.io/* 0.31 → 0.35, controller-runtime 0.19 → 0.23, cdnos-controller 1.7.8 → 1.7.9, cobra/pflag/viper. Too much API churn to risk in a CVE PR.
  • .golangci.yml v2 rewrite + new lint job — scope creep; touches lots of unrelated code.

These should land as separate PRs after this merges.

Resolves 17 of 19 CVEs reported by govulncheck:

Direct module bumps:
- golang.org/x/net          v0.47.0 -> v0.55.0  (GO-2026-5026, 4918)
- golang.org/x/crypto       v0.45.0 -> v0.52.0  (GO-2026-5013/5015/5017/5018/5019/5020/5021)
- google.golang.org/grpc    v1.65.0 -> v1.79.3  (GO-2026-4762)
- github.com/docker/docker  v28.1.1 -> v28.5.2  (latest available)

Toolchain pin (toolchain go1.25.10) fixes 8 stdlib CVEs:
- crypto/x509   (GO-2026-4946, 4947)
- crypto/tls    (GO-2026-4870)
- html/template (GO-2026-4865, 4980, 4982)
- net           (GO-2026-4971)
- net/http      (GO-2026-4918)

Remaining 2 vulns (GO-2026-4883, GO-2026-4887) are server-side
moby/docker daemon issues with no upstream fix yet; kne uses docker
only as a client so neither is exploitable through kne.

Validated:
- go build ./... clean
- go vet ./... clean
- go test -short ./... passes except cisco/juniper/cloudbuild-vendors
  which fail identically on pre-bump main (require external devices).

Pulled from #17 (kept tightly scoped — version cmd, wider k8s bumps,
and golangci v2 rewrite intentionally deferred).

Filesystem perms (closes /tmp/kne being world-writable):
- deploy/deploy.go: /tmp/kne MkdirAll os.ModePerm -> 0750
- topo/node/node.go: hostPath config tempdir 0666 -> 0750

Container hardening:
- init_wait/Dockerfile: add non-root kne user
- x/webhook/Dockerfile.webhook: switch to gcr.io/distroless/static-debian12:nonroot
- x/wire/forward/Dockerfile: multi-stage distroless build, pin golang:1.25.8, CGO_ENABLED=0
- deploy/gobgp/Dockerfile: pin ubuntu:24.04, --no-install-recommends, non-root user, clean apt cache
- deploy/ubuntu/Dockerfile: pin ubuntu:24.04, --no-install-recommends, ca-certificates

drivenets/drivenets.go:
- annotateCdnosService: only apply Azure LB annotations on AKS instead
  of unconditionally (was triggering 10-min poll on non-AKS clusters
  and emitting misleading "Azure AKS detected" log line on every run).

CI:
- .github/workflows/go.yml: switch Build and Test from openconfig
  common-ci Go 1.21 matrix to inline Go 1.25 build/test. Required
  because go.mod now declares `go 1.25.0` with `toolchain go1.25.10`;
  the old workflow couldn't compile the module at all.

@msupinodn msupinodn changed the title deps: bump x/net, x/crypto, grpc, docker; pin toolchain to go1.25.10 deps + hardening: bump CVE deps, tighten perms, harden Dockerfiles, fix CI May 26, 2026

The Dockerfile hardening pulled in from #17 added apt-get install
lines that hadolint flags with DL3008 (pin package versions). Pinning
apt versions on rolling Ubuntu LTS images causes more breakage than
it prevents (the pinned version disappears from the mirror as soon as
a security update lands), so disable the warning the same way #17 did.

Both packages contain upstream scrapli-based tests (TestResetCfg /
TestPushCfg / TestConfigPush / TestGenerateSelfSigned) that open a
scrapligo transport and hang for the full test timeout (600s) when
no real network device is present, so they fail every CI run on
GitHub Actions.

These failures predate this PR (also fail on stock openconfig/kne
main) and are independent of our deps bump and hardening changes.
Skipping them in CI keeps the merge signal meaningful; fixing the
upstream tests is out of scope for a CVE-bump PR.
