When using the Index Replication feature, Apache Solr nodes can pull index files from a master/leader node using an HTTP API which accepts a file name. However, Solr before 5.5.4 and 6.x before 6.4.1 did not validate the file name, hence it was possible to craft a special request involving path traversal, leaving any file readable to the Solr server process exposed. Solr servers protected and restricted by firewall rules and/or authentication would not be at risk since only trusted clients and users would gain direct HTTP access.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

Two vulnerabilities have been found in Solr, a search server based on Lucene, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code or path traversal.

lucene-solr handler supports an HTTP API (/replication?command=filecontent&file=<file_name>) which is vulnerable to path traversal attack. Specifically, this API does not perform any validation of the user specified file_name parameter. This can allow an attacker to download any file readable to Solr server process even if it is not related to the actual Solr index state.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this problem has been fixed in version 3.6.0+dfsg-1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your lucene-solr packages.
