Tao Li created HIVE-17152: ----------------------------- Summary: Improve security of random generator for HS2 cookies Key: HIVE-17152 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17152 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Tao Li Assignee: Tao Li
The random number generated is used as a secret to append to a sequence and SHA to implement a CookieSigner. If this is attackable, then it's possible for an attacker to sign a cookie as if we had. We should fix this and use SecureRandom as a stronger random function . HTTPAuthUtils has a similar issue. If that is attackable, an attacker might be able to create a similar cookie. Paired with the above issue with the CookieSigner, it could reasonably spoof a HS2 cookie. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
