Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay in Apache Spark

Apache Spark

CVE-2021-38296 · Published Mar 11, 2022 · updated Oct 25, 2024

High7.5
Fix: upgrade to 3.1.3 or later
GitHub advisory

Apache Spark supports end-to-end encryption of RPC connections via "spark.authenticate" and "spark.network.crypto.enabled". In versions 3.1.2 and earlier, it uses a bespoke mutual authentication protocol that allows for full encryption key recovery. After an initial interactive attack, this would allow someone to decrypt plaintext traffic offline. Note that this does not affect security mechanisms controlled by "spark.authenticate.enableSaslEncryption", "spark.io.encryption.enabled", "spark.ssl", "spark.ui.strictTransportSecurity". Update to Apache Spark 3.1.3 or later
