SCA: security update for org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-common (GHSA-8wm5-8h9c-47pc)
critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412907
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Apache Hadoop's FileUtil.unTar(File, File) API does not escape the input file name before being passed to
the shell. An attacker can inject arbitrary commands. This is only used in Hadoop 3.3
InMemoryAliasMap.completeBootstrapTransfer, which is only ever run by a local user. It has been used in
Hadoop 2.x for yarn localization, which does enable remote code execution. It is used in Apache Spark,
from the SQL command ADD ARCHIVE. As the ADD ARCHIVE command adds new binaries to the classpath, being
able to execute shell scripts does not confer new permissions to the caller. SPARK-38305. "Check existence
of file before untarring/zipping", which is included in 3.3.0, 3.1.4, 3.2.2, prevents shell commands being
executed, regardless of which version of the hadoop libraries are in use. Users should upgrade to Apache
Hadoop 2.10.2, 3.2.4, 3.3.3 or upper (including HADOOP-18136). (CVE-2022-25168)
