🔗 CrowdStrike warns of critical TLS vulnerability in Falcon Sensor for Linux. The cybersecurity firm has issued a security advisory regarding a high-severity Transport Layer Security (TLS) vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-1146, affecting its Falcon Sensor for Linux, Falcon Kubernetes Admission Controller, and Falcon Container Sensor. This flaw could enable man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks due to a validation logic error in the TLS connection routine, allowing attackers to intercept and manipulate traffic. All versions prior to 7.21 are impacted, but Windows and Mac sensors remain unaffected. CrowdStrike rates the vulnerability as 8.1 (HIGH) and urges users to update to version 7.21 or later to mitigate risks, assuring that the patch will not affect sensor performance.
