HIGH 7.8DOWNGRADE

CVE-2017-14105 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.8) affecting hivemanager classic. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

HiveManager Classic through 8.1r1 allows arbitrary JSP code execution by modifying a backup archive before a restore, because the restore feature does not validate pathnames within the archive. An authenticated, local attacker - even restricted as a tenant - can add a jsp at HiveManager/tomcat/webapps/hm/domains/$yourtenant/maps (it will be exposed at the web interface).

aerohive hivemanager classic DOWNGRADE

Affected: 8.0r1 · 8.1r1

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 8.0r1

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy hivemanager-classic || rpm -q hivemanager-classic || hivemanager-classic --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 8.0r1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison hivemanager-classic sudo apt install hivemanager-classic=<VERSION_BEFORE_8.0r1> sudo apt-mark hold hivemanager-classic

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
