What is Origin-Aggregated Logging?

Origin-aggregated logging is a middleware mechanism that aggregates the logs of all pods in an application, originates them into a central location, and then makes them available for inspection.
A vulnerability was discovered in the Origin-Aggregated Logging (OAL) feature of OpenShift 4.1 that could allow an attacker to craft a malicious request to get read and write access to files in the log directory. This would allow the attacker to potentially read or write arbitrary files from within the container which may contain sensitive information such as database credentials or configuration files.

Origin aggregating is a method of collecting logs from multiple servers and archives them together into a single location, typically an S3 bucket or HPSS repository compatible with Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). This enables organizations, such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter to reduce costs by sharing infrastructure and reducing storage needs and backup windows.
