Subject: Re: [SECURITY] CVE-2018-1320 Apache Thrift SASL negotiation
 vulnerability (update)

This is an update to a previously announced CVE.  The specific change
in the update is that a new version of Apache Thrift 0.9.3.1 was
released per community request.  The following fields changed from the
previous announcement:

Versions Affected
Mitigation
Resolution

The new content of the CVE announcement is as follows:

Reported By: Sudheesh Katkam
Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Product: Apache Thrift
Problem Type: Improper Authentication
Versions Affected: Apache Thrift versions 0.5.0 through 0.11.0, except 0.9.3.1
Mitigation: Upgrading to 0.9.3.1 or to the latest 0.12.0 release

Description:
Apache Thrift Java client library TSaslTransport can bypass SASL negotiation
isComplete validation. An assert was previously used to determine if the
SASL handshake had successfully completed, but in some cases this assertion
could be disabled in production settings making the validation incomplete.

Resolution:
The assertion has been removed and an isComplete check has
been moved within the handshake processing loop. The fix is contained
in the 0.12.0 Apache Thrift release as has also been backported to the
0.9.3.1 release, also available on maven central.  0.12.0 was released
on January 4, 2019 and 0.9.3.1 was released on March 13, 2019.
