Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-6811 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-common (Maven): affected from 2.0.0-alpha; fixed in 2.7.4\n- org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-common (Maven): affected from 2.0.0-alpha; fixed in 2.7.4\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6811/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6811/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-6811","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6811/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-6811","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mf7c-35mq-75pj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Hadoop YARN","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A user with yarn privileges can escalate to root and execute arbitrary commands in Apache Hadoop YARN.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"hadoop","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"In Apache Hadoop 2.x before 2.7.4, a user who can escalate to yarn user can possibly run arbitrary commands as root user.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Insecure Inherited Permissions in Apache Hadoop","id":"CVE-2016-6811","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation in Apache CXF","id":"CVE-2016-6812"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.7.4"],"introduced":["2.0.0-alpha"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-common","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-mf7c-35mq-75pj"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.7.4"],"introduced":["2.0.0-alpha"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-common","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.hadoop/hadoop-common","source":"GHSA-mf7c-35mq-75pj"}],"prev":{"headline":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation Apache ActiveMQ","id":"CVE-2016-6810"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-04-11","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileUtil.unTarUsingTar","id":"CVE-2022-25168","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Heap buffer overflow in libhdfs native library","id":"CVE-2021-37404","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-06-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Arbitrary file write in FileUtil#unpackEntries on Windows","id":"CVE-2022-26612","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions in Connect2id Nimbus JOSE+JWT","id":"CVE-2019-17195","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-10-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Exposure of Sensitive Information in Hadoop","id":"CVE-2017-15718","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-01-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm in Apache Hadoop","id":"CVE-2012-4449","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-10-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in Apache Hadoop","id":"CVE-2016-3086","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-09-05"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A user with yarn privileges can escalate to root and execute arbitrary commands in Apache Hadoop YARN.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6811/"}
