Descriptions
Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key vulnerability in Apache ZooKeeper. If SASL Quorum Peer authentication is enabled in ZooKeeper (quorum.auth.enableSasl=true), the authorization is done by verifying that the instance part in SASL authentication ID is listed in zoo.cfg server list. The instance part in SASL auth ID is optional and if it's missing, like 'eve@EXAMPLE.COM', the authorization check will be skipped. As a result an arbitrary endpoint could join the cluster and begin propagating counterfeit changes to the leader, essentially giving it complete read-write access to the data tree. Quorum Peer authentication is not enabled by default.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.9.1, 3.8.3, 3.7.2, which fixes the issue.
Alternately ensure the ensemble election/quorum communication is protected by a firewall as this will mitigate the issue.
See the documentation for more details on correct cluster administration.
Vulnerabilidad de Omisión de Autorización a través de Clave Controlada por el Usuario en Apache ZooKeeper. Si la autenticación SASL Quorum Peer está habilitada en ZooKeeper (quorum.auth.enableSasl=true), la autorización se realiza verificando que la parte de la instancia en el ID de autenticación SASL aparece en la lista de servidores zoo.cfg. La parte de la instancia en el ID de autenticación de SASL es opcional y si falta, como 'eve@EXAMPLE.COM', se omitirá la verificación de autorización. Como resultado, un endpoint arbitrario podría unirse al clúster y comenzar a propagar cambios falsos al líder, dándole esencialmente acceso completo de lectura y escritura al árbol de datos. La autenticación de pares de quórum no está habilitada de forma predeterminada. Se recomienda a los usuarios actualizar a la versión 3.9.1, 3.8.3, 3.7.2, que soluciona el problema. Como alternativa, asegúrese de que la comunicación conjunta entre election y quórum esté protegida por un firewall, ya que esto mitigará el problema. Consulte la documentación para obtener más detalles sobre la correcta administración del clúster.
A flaw was found in Apache ZooKeeper. Authorization bypass through user-controlled key is available iff SASL Quorum Peer authentication is enabled in ZooKeeper via quorum.auth.enableSasl=true configuration. A malicious user could bypass the authentication controller by using a non-existing instance part in SASL authentication ID (which is optional), therefore, the server would skip this check and as a result, join the cluster and propagate information with complete read and write access.
