Summary

### Impact _What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_

The Karmada components deployed with `karmadactl`, `karma-operator`, and `helm chart` take Golang default cipher suites as part of the TLS protocol, which includes the insecure algorithm. Referring to https://github.com/golang/go/issues/41476#issuecomment-694914728, the 3DES algorithm vulnerability is very unlikely to be attacked. However, to address the concerns and to avoid being disturbed by the security scanner, Karmada has decided to limit the cipher suites to exclude the insecure 3DES algorithm and accordingly release this security advisory.

The components affected are： - karmada-apiserver - karmada-aggregated-apiserver - karmada-search - karmada-metrics-adapter - etcd

### Patches _Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_

From Karmada v1.8.0, when deploying Karmada with `karmadactl`, `karma-operator`, and `helm chart`, the default minimum TLS version of components(include `karmada-apiserver`, `karmada-aggregated-apiserver`, `karmada-search`, and `karmada-metrics-adapter`) would be set to `TLS1.3` to get rid of the insecure algorithm, and set default cipher suites(`TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305`) for `etcd`.

### Workarounds _Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_

By setting the `--tls-min-version` for the affected components to TLS 1.3, or explicitly setting the `--cipher-suites` to secure algorithms.
