SCA: security update for org.apache.hive:hive-llap-common (GHSA-p953-3j66-hg45)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420784

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Use of Arrays.equals() in LlapSignerImpl in Apache Hive to compare message signatures allows attacker to
 forge a valid signature for an arbitrary message byte by byte. The attacker should be an authorized user
 of the product to perform this attack. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.0, which fixes this
 issue. The problem occurs when an application doesn’t use a constant-time algorithm for validating a
 signature. The method Arrays.equals() returns false right away when it sees that one of the input’s bytes
 are different. It means that the comparison time depends on the contents of the arrays. This little thing
 may allow an attacker to forge a valid signature for an arbitrary message byte by byte. So it might allow
 malicious users to submit splits/work with selected signatures to LLAP without running as a privileged
 user, potentially leading to DDoS attack. More details in the reference section. (CVE-2024-23953)
