CRITICAL

solr: remote code execution due to unsafe deserialization

Published Mar 7, 2019

Description

In Apache Solr versions 5.0.0 to 5.5.5 and 6.0.0 to 6.6.5, the Config API allows to configure the JMX server via an HTTP POST request. By pointing it to a malicious RMI server, an attacker could take advantage of Solr's unsafe deserialization to trigger remote code execution on the Solr side.

Affected products

Remediation

Red Hat mitigation

* Upgrade to 6.6.6 or later * Disable the ConifgAPI if not in use (`disable.configEdit=true`) * Use other external means to ensure only trusted traffic is allowed (block POST requests to the config API from external sources)
