Improper Link Resolution Before File Access in Apache Hadoop
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-client | >= 0.23.0, < 1.0.1 | 1.0.1 |
| Maven | org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-client | >= 2.0.0, < 2.5.2 | 2.5.2 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
The YARN NodeManager daemon in Apache Hadoop 0.23.0 through 0.23.11 and 2.x before 2.5.2, when using Kerberos authentication, allows remote cluster users to change the permissions of certain files to world-readable via a symlink attack in a public tar archive, which is not properly handled during localization, related to distributed cache.
