Debian DLA-2327-1 : lucene-solr security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 139625

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A security vulnerability was discovered in lucene-solr, an enterprise search server.

The DataImportHandler, an optional but popular module to pull in data from databases and other sources, has a feature in which the whole DIH configuration can come from a request's 'dataConfig' parameter. The debug mode of the DIH admin screen uses this to allow convenient debugging / development of a DIH config. Since a DIH config can contain scripts, this parameter is a security risk. Starting from now on, use of this parameter requires setting the Java System property 'enable.dih.dataConfigParam' to true. For example this can be achieved with solr-tomcat by adding -Denable.dih.dataConfigParam=true to JAVA_OPTS in /etc/default/tomcat8.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 3.6.2+dfsg-10+deb9u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your lucene-solr packages.

For the detailed security status of lucene-solr please refer to its security tracker page at:

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
