[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-12767) update apache httpclient version to the latest 4.5 for security

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12767?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15134401#comment-15134401 ]

------------------------------------------

Hi  [~artem.aliev] Thanks for reporting this.

The Hadoop trunk depends on httpclient 4.2.5 and commons-httpclient 3.2.1. Same for branch-2.

Per CVE-2015-5262 (https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2015-5262), httpclient before 4.3.6 suffers from the vulnerability.

Bumping httpclient version should be relatively easy, assuming no API change, it would only need update pom files. However, removing commons-httpclient 3 is not trivial, and is an ongoing effort.
