Upgrade org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-yarn-server-nodemanager to version 3.3.5 or higher.
Overview
org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-yarn-server-nodemanager is a resource management and job scheduling technology in the open source Hadoop distributed processing framework.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Untrusted Search Path in the linux container-executor binary. An attacker can gain root privileges by exploiting the relative library resolution. If the YARN cluster is accepting work from remote (authenticated) users, this may permit remote users to gain root privileges. The vulnerability allows a user with reduced privileges to install a malicious libcrypto library into a path to which they have write access, invoke the container-executor command and have their modified library executed as root.
Workaround
Ensuring that the owner of the container-executor is not root and the suid bit is not set can prevent privilege escalation.
