Wei-Chiu Chuang commented on HADOOP-12767:
------------------------------------------
Hi [~artem.aliev] Thanks for reporting this.
The Hadoop trunk depends on httpclient 4.2.5 and commons-httpclient 3.2.1. Same
for branch-2.
Per CVE-2015-5262
(https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2015-5262), httpclient
before 4.3.6 suffers from the vulnerability.
Bumping httpclient version should be relatively easy, assuming no API change,
it would only need update pom files. However, removing commons-httpclient 3 is
not trivial, and is an ongoing effort.
> update apache httpclient version to the latest 4.5 for security
