CVE-2019-0201: Information disclosure vulnerability in Apache ZooKeeper
 
Severity: Critical
 
Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
 
Versions Affected: ZooKeeper prior to 3.4.14, ZooKeeper 3.5.0-alpha through 
3.5.4-beta. The unsupported ZooKeeper 1.x through 3.3.x versions may be also 
affected.
 
Description: ZooKeeper’s getACL() command doesn’t check any permission when 
retrieves the ACLs of the requested node and returns all information contained 
in the ACL Id field as plaintext string. DigestAuthenticationProvider overloads 
the Id field with the hash value that is used for user authentication. As a 
consequence, if Digest Authentication is in use, the unsalted hash value will 
be disclosed by getACL() request for unauthenticated or unprivileged users.
 
Mitigation: Use an authentication method other than Digest (e.g. Kerberos) or 
upgrade to 3.4.14 or later (3.5.5 or later if on the 3.5 branch).
