Creation of Temporary File With Insecure Permissions

CVE-2024-23454

Medium
6.2/10

Summary

Apache Hadoop's "RunJar.run()" does not set permissions for the temporary directory by default. If sensitive data is present in this file, other local users may be able to view its contents. This happens because all local users on Unix-like systems share the system temporary directory. As a result, files written in this directory, without explicitly setting the correct POSIX permissions, may be viewable by all other local users. The issue affects Apache Hadoop versions prior to 3.4.0.
