CVE-2020-17516: Apache Cassandra doesn't enforce encryption setting on inbound internode connections
Severity: Important Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation Versions Affected: Cassandra 2.1.0 to 2.1.22 Cassandra 2.2.0 to 2.2.19 Cassandra 3.0.0 to 3.0.23 Cassandra 3.11.0 to 3.11.9 Description: When using ‘dc’ or ‘rack’ internode_encryption setting, a Cassandra instance allows both encrypted and unencrypted connections. A misconfigured node or a malicious user can use the unencrypted connection despite not being in the same rack or dc, and bypass mutual TLS requirement. Mitigation: Users of ALL versions should switch from ‘dc’ or ‘rack’ to ‘all’ internode_encryption setting, as they are inherently insecure 3.0.x users should additionally upgrade to 3.0.24 3.11.x users should additionally upgrade to 3.11.24 Credit: This issue was discoverd by Jon Meredith --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@cassandra.apache.org
