abhishek bafna commented on OOZIE-2538: --------------------------------------- Testcase failure is not relevant. [~jaydeepvishwakarma], [~rkanter] can you please take a look. > Update HttpClient versions to close security vulnerabilities > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: OOZIE-2538 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2538 > Project: Oozie > Issue Type: Bug > Components: core > Reporter: abhishek bafna > Assignee: abhishek bafna > Fix For: 4.3.0 > > Attachments: OOZIE-2538-01.patch, OOZIE-2538.patch > > > We learned that > https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2015-5262 : > http/conn/ssl/SSLConnectionSocketFactory.java in Apache HttpComponents > HttpClient before 4.3.6 ignores the http.socket.timeout configuration setting > during an SSL handshake, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of > service (HTTPS call hang) via unspecified vectors. > Also, Commons HttpClient project is now end of life, and is no longer being > developed. It has been replaced by the Apache HttpComponents project in its > HttpClient and HttpCore modules, which offer better performance and more > flexibility. http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/ > Hence, HttpClient version should be updated. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
