             Summary: httpclient classic dependency - potentially a patch required?
                 Key: SPARK-16769
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16769
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Question
          Components: Build
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.6.2
         Environment: All Spark versions, any environment
            Reporter: Adam Roberts


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
