CVE-2019-0192: Input Validation

Published Mar 7, 2019
·
Updated

A flaw was found in the Apache Solr's Config API, where it would permit the configuration of the JMX server via an HTTP POST request. An attacker could use this flaw to direct traffic to a malicious RMI server, and then trigger remote code execution or conduct further attacks.

Other sources

In Apache Solr versions 5.0.0 to 5.5.5 and 6.0.0 to 6.6.5, the Config API allows to configure the JMX server via an HTTP POST request. By pointing it to a malicious RMI server, an attacker could take advantage of Solr's unsafe deserialization to trigger remote code execution on the Solr side.

Affected Software

3 affected components
Apache SOLR>=5.0.0<=5.5.5
Apache SOLR>=6.0.0<=6.6.5
Netapp Storage Automation Store

Remediation

Information

* Upgrade to 6.6.6 or later * Disable the ConifgAPI if not in use (`disable.configEdit=true`) * Use other external means to ensure only trusted traffic is allowed (block POST requests to the config API from external sources)
