Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Apache Hive up to 1.2.1/2.0.0 and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown functionality of the component Client. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a certificate validation vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-295. The product does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate. Impacted is integrity. CVE summarizes:

Apache Hive (JDBC + HiveServer2) implements SSL for plain TCP and HTTP connections (it supports both transport modes). While validating the server's certificate during the connection setup, the client in Apache Hive before 1.2.2 and 2.0.x before 2.0.1 doesn't seem to be verifying the common name attribute of the certificate. In this way, if a JDBC client sends an SSL request to server abc.com, and the server responds with a valid certificate (certified by CA) but issued to xyz.com, the client will accept that as a valid certificate and the SSL handshake will go through.

The bug was discovered 05/25/2017. The weakness was presented 05/30/2017 (Website). The advisory is available at lists.apache.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2016-3083 since 03/10/2016.
