CVE-2019-13119: Policy bypass via nested encapsulation
On May 25 2019, a security relevant bug has been reported to us via the documented security disclosure channel. It was soon identified that multiple vendors are affected by this vulnerability. This lead to an embargo period which is being lifted today. The bug allows, under certain circumstances, to bypass network security policies. See below for details on the vulnerability and the mitigation.

License change and lack of attribution of Cilium eBPF code in Calico project
As with everything we do, we are fully transparent. As it becomes obvious that a simple resolution in this matter is not possible, we follow open source best practices and choose a public forum for the sake of transparency. It was brought to our attention that some of the new eBPF code committed to the Calico repository is violating the license of source code in the Cilium repository.

Cilium 1.5: Scaling to 5k nodes and 100k pods, BPF-based SNAT, and Rolling Key Updates for Transparent Encryption
We are excited to announce the Cilium 1.5 release. Cilium 1.5 is the first release where we primarily focused on scalability with respect to number of nodes, pods and services. Our goal was to scale to 5k nodes, 20k pods and 10k services. We went well past that goal with the 1.5 release and are now officially supporting 5k nodes, 100k pods and 20k services. Along the way, we learned a lot, some expected, some unexpected, this blog post will dive into what we learned and how we improved.
