CVE-2026-34992
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAntrea is a Kubernetes networking solution intended to be Kubernetes native. Prior to 2.4.5 and 2.5.2, a missing encryption vulnerability affects inter-Node Pod traffic. In Antrea clusters configured for dual-stack networking with IPsec encryption enabled (trafficEncryptionMode: ipsec), Antrea fails to apply encryption for IPv6 Pod traffic. While the IPv4 traffic is correctly encrypted via ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload), traffic using IPv6 is transmitted in plaintext. This occurs because the packets are encapsulated (using Geneve or VXLAN) but bypass the IPsec encryption layer. Impacted Users: users with dual-stack clusters and IPsec encryption enabled. Single-stack IPv4 or IPv6 clusters are not affected. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.4.5 and 2.5.2.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2.4.52.5.2
Antrea 2.4.5 (if on 2.4.x) or Antrea 2.5.2 (if on 2.5.x)
- 1. Determine the current Antrea version by running: kubectl get pods -n kube-system -l app=antrea -o jsonpath='{.items[0].spec.containers[0].image}'
- 2. If running version < 2.4.5 on the 2.4.x branch, upgrade to version 2.4.5
- 3. If running version >= 2.5.0 and < 2.5.2 on the 2.5.x branch, upgrade to version 2.5.2
- 4. Apply the upgrade using the standard Antrea upgrade process, typically via: kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antrea-io/antrea/v<version>/build/yamls/antrea.yml
- 5. Verify the upgrade completed successfully: kubectl get pods -n kube-system -l app=antrea
- 6. Confirm IPsec encryption is functioning for dual-stack by verifying ESP packets are present for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic
