CVE-2024-0874 — Coredns: cd bit response is cached and served later

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

CISA SSVC assessment CISA

Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Red Hat Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2, Red Hat Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.13, Red Hat Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.14…).
2. The attack is network-based and needs no privileges: restrict exposure (ACLs, VPN, WAF) until patched.
3. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
4. Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.

Affected scope

Vendor, product and versions as the sources word them.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2024-0874 is "Coredns: cd bit response is cached and served later", rated Medium. It affects Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2 (Red Hat); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 5.3 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.76% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
