Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM InfoSphere BigInsights 4.2 is affected by Open Source vulnerabilities in
Hadoop (CVE-2016-3086, CVE-2016-5001) and Solr (CVE-2017-3163)
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2016-3086
DESCRIPTION: Apache Hadoop could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive
information, caused by a flaw in the YARN NodeManager. A remote attacker could
exploit this vulnerability to obtain the password for credential store
provider.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/131544 for the current
score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2016-5001
DESCRIPTION: Apache Hadoop could allow a local authenticated attacker to
obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw in the short-circuit reads
feature. By using a specially-crafted block token, a local attacker could
exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/131248 for the current
score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2017-3163
DESCRIPTION:
When using the Index Replication feature, Apache Solr nodes can pull index
files from a master/leader node using an HTTP API which accepts a file name.
However, Solr before 5.5.4 and 6.x before 6.4.1 did not validate the file
name, hence it was possible to craft a special request involving path
traversal, leaving any file readable to the Solr server process exposed. Solr
servers protected and restricted by firewall rules and/or authentication would
not be at risk since only trusted clients and users would gain direct HTTP
access.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/131320 for the current
score
