How to Fix CVE-2021-25642
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Hadoop yarn server dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
<artifactId>hadoop-yarn-server</artifactId>
<version>2.10.2</version>
</dependency><dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
<artifactId>hadoop-yarn-server</artifactId>
<version>3.2.4</version>
</dependency><dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
<artifactId>hadoop-yarn-server</artifactId>
<version>3.3.4</version>
</dependency>Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.hadoopHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2021-25642, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.hadoopAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Hadoop yarn server in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.10.2), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.hadoop command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data, where the product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid. In Hadoop yarn server, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.
