Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache Hadoop versions 2.7.3 through 2.7.4

Description The issue is related to errors in managing registration data in the YARN NodeManager component of Apache Hadoop. This can lead to unauthorized access to arbitrary passwords. The YARN NodeManager in Apache Hadoop can leak the password for the credential store provider used by the NodeManager to YARN Applications.

Recommendations For Apache Hadoop versions 2.7.3 and 2.7.4, consider restricting access to the YARN NodeManager component until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the credential store provider by the NodeManager to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
