Security Bulletin
Summary
Apache Hadoop has multiple vulnerabilities that can affect IBM watsonx.data.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2022-26612
DESCRIPTION: Apache Hadoop for Windows could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the use of an unTarUsingJava function on Windows and the built-in tar utility on Unix and other OSes by the unTar function. By following symbolic links, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to write arbitrary files on the system.
CVSS Base score: 9.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/223688 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2018-8029
DESCRIPTION: Apache Hadoop could allow a remote authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary commands as root user.
CVSS Base score: 8.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/161812 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2022-25168
DESCRIPTION: Apache Hadoop could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by improper input file name validation by the FileUtil.unTar(File, File) API. By sending specially-crafted arguments, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/232807 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2017-15713
DESCRIPTION: Apache Hadoop could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information. By using a specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to expose private files.
CVSS Base score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/138064 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2018-11766
DESCRIPTION: Apache Hadoop could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system. By escalating to yarn user, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the system with root privileges.
CVSS Base score: 8.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/153346 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
IBM X-Force ID: 220802
DESCRIPTION: Apache Hadoop is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the WebHDFS components. By persuading an authenticated user to visit a malicious Web site, a remote attacker could send a malformed HTTP request using the NameNode and DataNode parameters to perform unauthorized actions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform cross-site scripting attacks, Web cache poisoning, and other malicious activities.
CVSS Base score: 5.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/220802 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
