CVE-2015-0225: Apache Cassandra remote execution of arbitrary code Severity: Important Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation Versions Affected: Cassandra 1.2.0 to 1.2.19 Cassandra 2.0.0 to 2.0.13 Cassandra 2.1.0 to 2.1.3 Description: Under its default configuration, Cassandra binds an unauthenticated JMX/RMI interface to all network interfaces. As RMI is an API for the transport and remote execution of serialized Java, anyone with access to this interface can execute arbitrary code as the running user. Mitigation: 1.2.x has reached EOL, so users of <= 1.2.x are recommended to upgrade to a supported version of Cassandra, or manually configure encryption and authentication of JMX, (seehttps://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/JmxSecurity). 2.0.x users should upgrade to 2.0.14 2.1.x users should upgrade to 2.1.4 Alternately, users of any version not wishing to upgrade can reconfigure JMX/RMI to enable encryption and authentication according to https://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/JmxSecurityor http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/management/agent.html Credit: This issue was discovered by Georgi Geshev of MWR InfoSecurity By Date By Thread Current thread: [SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT] CVE-2015-0225 Jake Luciani (Apr 01)
