Limit Access to the Host Network Namespace

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Containers should not be allowed access to the host's network namespace. To prevent containers from getting access to a host's network namespace, the appropriate Security Context Constraints (SCCs) should set allowHostNetwork to false.

Rationale

A container running in the host's network namespace could access the host network traffic to and from other pods potentially allowing an attacker to exploit pods and network traffic.
