Cilium v1.17.14 patches a security issue with Envoy's admin socket permissions and two L7 load balancer policy bypass bugs — upgrade if you use L7 LB or Envoy.

• securityPatch the world-accessible Envoy admin socket immediately

  The Envoy admin socket was being created with world-accessible permissions, meaning any process on the node could potentially interact with it. This is a local privilege escalation risk in multi-tenant or shared node environments. Upgrade to v1.17.14 now — there's no workaround short of restricting filesystem access externally. Check if your nodes have been running older versions and audit whether the socket was exploitable in your threat model.

• securityL7 LB was allowing ingress policy bypass for local backends — fix before trusting policy enforcement

  Ingress policies were not being enforced for local backends when L7 load balancing was active. If you rely on network policy to restrict east-west traffic through L7 LB, your policies may not have been effective. After upgrading, verify your ingress policies are behaving as expected, particularly for services with local endpoint backends.

• enhancementBPF filesystem now included in bugtool — use it for faster incident diagnosis

  The bugtool now captures 'find /sys/fs/bpf' output, which is often the first thing you need when diagnosing BPF map or program issues. No action required, but update your runbooks to note that bugtool output from v1.17.14+ will include this data by default, saving manual SSH steps during incidents.
