[jira] [Commented] (AMBARI-20018) Document security issue related to setting security.agent.hostname.validate to false

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-20018?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15981500#comment-15981500 ] 

Brian Martin commented on AMBARI-20018:
---------------------------------------

Per https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Ambari+Vulnerabilities#AmbariVulnerabilities-FixedinAmbari2.4.0, this was fixed in 2.4.0. This ticket says 2.4.0 is impacted and 2.5.0 fixes. Can you clarify if this ticket represents a regression or variation on the original bug, or if this is purely documentation and the vuln was fixed in 2.4.0? Thanks!

> If set to "false", invalid hostnames may be used in OpenSSL commands used to create the agent-side certificates when 2-way SSL is enabled. This could lead to issues when executing OpenSSL as described in CVE-2014-3582. See https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Ambari+Vulnerabilities.
