Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23944)

CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in persistent watchers. A remote user can bypass implemented security restrictions and obtain user names or login identifiers.


2) Authorization bypass through user-controlled key (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44981)

CWE-ID: CWE-639 - Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization process.

The vulnerability exists due to improper implementation of SASL Quorum Peer authentication. The instance part in SASL authentication ID, which is listed in zoo.cfg server list, is optional and if it's missing, the authorization check will be skipped. As a result an arbitrary endpoint could join the cluster and begin propagating counterfeit changes to the leader, essentially giving it complete read-write access to the data tree.
