[NOTICE]: Apache Thrift Security Vulnerability CVE-2016-5397

CVE-2016-5397

A security vulnerability was discovered in the Apache Thrift Go client
library,
CVE-2016-5397. It was determined that the Apache Thrift Go client library
exposed
the potential during code generation for command injection due to using an
external formatting tool. This has been traced and resolved in THRIFT-3893
[2].

Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation

Versions Affected: All Apache Thrift versions 0.9.3 and older may be
affected

Mitigation: Upgrading to the latest Apache Thrift 0.10.0 release

Resolution: The issue was resolved by removing the relevant calls to the
external
formatting tool, gofmt, since it is not required for core Apache Thrift code
functionality.
