Descriptions

Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in Apache Hive.

The vulnerability affects the Hive JDBC driver component and it can potentially lead to arbitrary code execution on the machine/endpoint that the JDBC driver (client) is running. The malicious user must have sufficient permissions to specify/edit JDBC URL(s) in an endpoint relying on the Hive JDBC driver and the JDBC client process must run under a privileged user to fully exploit the vulnerability. 

The attacker can setup a malicious HTTP server and specify a JDBC URL pointing towards this server. When a JDBC connection is attempted, the malicious HTTP server can provide a special response with customized payload that can trigger the execution of certain commands in the JDBC client.This issue affects Apache Hive: from 4.0.0-alpha-1 before 4.0.0.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.0, which fixes the issue.

Vulnerabilidad de control inadecuado de generación de código ("inyección de código") en Apache Hive. La vulnerabilidad afecta al componente del controlador JDBC de Hive y potencialmente puede provocar la ejecución de código arbitrario en la máquina/endpoint que ejecuta el controlador JDBC (cliente). El usuario malintencionado debe tener permisos suficientes para especificar/editar URL de JDBC en un endpoint que dependa del controlador Hive JDBC y el proceso del cliente JDBC debe ejecutarse con un usuario privilegiado para explotar completamente la vulnerabilidad. El atacante puede configurar un servidor HTTP malicioso y especificar una URL JDBC que apunte hacia este servidor. Cuando se intenta una conexión JDBC, el servidor HTTP malicioso puede proporcionar una respuesta especial con un payload personalizado que puede desencadenar la ejecución de ciertos comandos en el cliente JDBC. Este problema afecta a Apache Hive: desde 4.0.0-alpha-1 antes de 4.0.0. Se recomienda a los usuarios actualizar a la versión 4.0.0, que soluciona el problema.
