high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 422637

Description

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

 - In Apache Spark 1.6.0 until 2.1.1, the launcher API performs unsafe deserialization of data received by
 its socket. This makes applications launched programmatically using the launcher API potentially
 vulnerable to arbitrary code execution by an attacker with access to any user account on the local
 machine. It does not affect apps run by spark-submit or spark-shell. The attacker would be able to execute
 code as the user that ran the Spark application. Users are encouraged to update to version 2.2.0 or later.
 (CVE-2017-12612)
