SCA: security update for org.apache.hive:hive, org.apache.hive:hive-exec, org.apache.hive:hive-service (GHSA-p639-xxv5-j383)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 422641

Description

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

 - In Apache Hive 2.1.0 to 2.3.2, when 'COPY FROM FTP' statement is run using HPL/SQL extension to Hive, a
 compromised/malicious FTP server can cause the file to be written to an arbitrary location on the cluster
 where the command is run from. This is because FTP client code in HPL/SQL does not verify the destination
 location of the downloaded file. This does not affect hive cli user and hiveserver2 user as hplsql is a
 separate command line script and needs to be invoked differently. (CVE-2018-1315)
