Published Sep 25, 2024CWE-378EPSS 0.41%

Overview

CVE-2024-23454 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 25, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.2 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.2, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

Apache Hadoop’s RunJar.run() does not set permissions for temporary directory by default. If sensitive data will be present in this file, all the other local users may be able to view the content.

This is because, on unix-like systems, the system temporary directory is

shared between all local users. As such, files written in this directory,

without setting the correct posix permissions explicitly, may be viewable

by all other local users.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
