CVE-2017-5652

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Apache Impala (versions 2.7.0 to 2.8.0), a vulnerability was identified where one of the ports sent data in plaintext even when the cluster was configured to use TLS. The StatestoreSubscriber class did not use the appropriate secure Thrift transport, allowing eavesdropping on data by third parties.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of exposing sensitive data, as an attacker with network access could intercept data transmitted through the vulnerable port.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade Apache Impala to the latest version and configure all ports to use secure Thrift transport to ensure data protection.

Original NVD description (English source)

During a routine security analysis, it was found that one of the ports in Apache Impala (incubating) 2.7.0 to 2.8.0 sent data in plaintext even when the cluster was configured to use TLS. The port in question was used by the StatestoreSubscriber class which did not use the appropriate secure Thrift transport when TLS was turned on. It was therefore possible for an adversary, with access to the network, to eavesdrop on the packets going to and coming from that port and view the data in plaintext.
