-------------------------------
Summary: Update Cassandra dependencies to fix security
vulnerabilities
Key: CASSANDRA-16528
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16528
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build
Reporter: LHX
There are a couple of security vulnerabilities that show up in libraries that
cassandra pulls in.
# apache commons-collections v 3.2.1
# apache commons-beanutils v 1.7.0
For number one, there is a well-known security vulnerability in apache
commons-collection 3.2.1 (see [https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/576313] and
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-580). This is fixed/mitigated
in commons-collections 3.2.2.
All current versions of cassandra (including 4.0beta4) pull in
commons-collections 3.2.1 via apache-rat 0.10. Is it possible to upgrade
apache-rat to version 0.12 in order to pull in the latest version of
commons-collections? See
[https://github.com/apache/creadur-rat/commit/2380409fbcd02b418eceacfdc1e486bdbbca9632].
I made the below change in 3.0.24 src and recompiled without errors.

For number two, I was able to discern that beanutils is coming from hadoop-core
which is version 1.0.3. I believe this also is quite out of date and could be
upgraded.
Could someone take a look and see if these version upgrades are possible?
