Fixed Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures

This section covers all Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) that are addressed in this release.

CVE-2018-8008

Component: Storm

Summary: Apache Storm arbitrary file write vulnerability.

Severity: Important

Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation

Versions Affected: HDP 3.0.0, HDP 2.6.5 and earlier

Impact: Apache Storm version 1.0.6 and earlier, 1.2.1 and earlier, and version 1.1.2 and earlier expose an arbitrary file write vulnerability, that can be achieved using a specially crafted zip archive (affects other archives as well, bzip2, tar, xz, war, cpio, 7z), that holds path traversal filenames. So when the filename gets concatenated to the target extraction directory, the final path ends up outside of the target folder.

Recommended Action: Upgrade to HDP 3.0.1.

CVE-2018-8009

Summary: Zip Slip Vulnerability - Apache Hadoop distributed cache archive vulnerability

Severity: Critical

Vendor: Hortonworks

Versions Affected: HDP 3.0.0

Users Affected: Users who run Mapreduce jobs.

Impact: Zip Slip is a widespread arbitrary file overwrite critical vulnerability, which typically results in remote command execution. It was discovered and responsibly disclosed by the Snyk Security team.

Recommended Action: Upgrade to HDP 3.0.1+.

CVE-2018-12536

Summary: InvalidPathException message

Severity: Moderate

Vendor: Hortonworks

Versions Affected: HDP 3.0.0

Users Affected: Users who use the Spark user interfaces.

Impact: When an intentionally bad query arrives, the message included in the error response can reveal the full server path to the requesting system.

Recommended Action: Upgrade to HDP 3.0.1.

CVE-2018-11778

Summary: Apache Ranger Stack based buffer overflow

Severity: Critical

Vendor: Hortonworks

Versions Affected: HDP 2.3/2.4/2.5/2.6/3.0 versions including Apache Ranger versions 0.5.x/0.6.x/0.7.x/1.1.0

Users Affected: Environments that use unix authentication service.

Impact: Ranger UnixAuthenticationService should properly handle user input to avoid Stack-based buffer overflow.

Recommended Action: Upgrade to HDP 3.0.1+.
