Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-26612)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to missing symbolic links checks when extracting files from TAR archives on Windows. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted archive and overwrite files on the system.
2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8009)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct a directory traversal attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of files inside an archive file. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into extracting a zip file that contains files that use directory traversal characters, cause a malicious file to be created outside the current working directory and cause a denial of service (DoS) condition or execute arbitrary code by overwriting other files on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
Note: the vulnerability has been dubbed "Zip Slip".
3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15713)
The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to gain access to sensitive information.
Vulnerability in Apache Hadoop 0.23.x, 2.x before 2.7.5, 2.8.x before 2.8.3, and 3.0.0-alpha through 3.0.0-beta1 allows a cluster user to expose private files owned by the user running the MapReduce job history server process. The malicious user can construct a configuration file containing XML directives that reference sensitive files on the MapReduce job history server host.
4) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25168)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the FileUtil.unTar(File, File) API. A remote unauthenticated attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-3086)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The YARN NodeManager in Apache Hadoop 2.6.x before 2.6.5 and 2.7.x before 2.7.3 can leak the password for credential store provider used by the NodeManager to YARN Applications.
6) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-5393)
The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to execute arbitrary code.
In Apache Hadoop 2.6.x before 2.6.5 and 2.7.x before 2.7.3, a remote user who can authenticate with the HDFS NameNode can possibly run arbitrary commands with the same privileges as the HDFS service.
7) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8029)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions for the API interface. A remote authenticated user can use vulnerable API endpoint to execute arbitrary YARN commands on the system as root.
