**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
ClickHouse versions prior to v20.8.18.32-lts
ClickHouse versions prior to v21.1.9.41-stable
ClickHouse versions prior to v21.2.9.41-stable

**Description**
The issue is related to information disclosure and allows a remote attacker to access confidential data. It also involves a local privilege vulnerability that enables a local, low-privileged attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by manipulating files in a directory with insecure permissions during the update process of Yandex Browser. An attacker with CREATE DICTIONARY privilege can read arbitrary files outside the permitted directory.
**Recommendations**
For ClickHouse versions prior to v20.8.18.32-lts, update to version v20.8.18.32-lts or later.
For ClickHouse versions prior to v21.1.9.41-stable, update to version v21.1.9.41-stable or later.
For ClickHouse versions prior to v21.2.9.41-stable, update to version v21.2.9.41-stable or later.
For ClickHouse versions prior to v21.3.6.55-lts, update to version v21.3.6.55-lts or later.
For ClickHouse versions prior to v21.4.3.21-stable, update to version v21.4.3.21-stable or later.
For Yandex Browser for Windows versions prior to 21.9.0.390, update to version 21.9.0.390 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the CREATE DICTIONARY privilege to minimize the risk of exploitation.
