[jira] [Resolved] (SPARK-16769) httpclient classic dependency -
potentially a patch required?
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16769?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Sean Owen resolved SPARK-16769.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
I think this doesn't end up being a vulnerability AFAICT and would partly go away anyway once early Hadoop versions are dropped
> httpclient classic dependency - potentially a patch required?
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-16769
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16769
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build
> Affects Versions: 1.6.2, 2.0.0
> Environment: All Spark versions, any environment
> Reporter: Adam Roberts
> Priority: Minor
>
> In our jars folder for Spark we provide a jar with a CVE https://www.versioneye.com/java/commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient/3.1. CVE-2012-5783
> This paper outlines the problem
> www.cs.utexas.edu/~shmat/shmat_ccs12.pdf
> My question is: do we need to ship this version as well or is it only used for tests? Is it a patched version? I plan to run without this dependency and if there are NoClassDefFound problems I'll add <scope>test</scope> so we don't ship it (downloading it in the first place is bad enough though)
> Note that this is valid for all versions, suggesting it be raised to a critical if Spark functionality is depending on it because of what the pdf I've linked to mentions
> Here is the jar being included:
> ls $SPARK_HOME/jars | grep "httpclient"
> commons-httpclient-3.1.jar
> httpclient-4.5.2.jar
> The first jar potentially contains the security issue, could be a patched version, need to verify. SHA1 sum for this jar is 964cd74171f427720480efdec40a7c7f6e58426a
