Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201902-27
==========================================
Severity: High
Date : 2019-02-25
CVE-ID : CVE-2019-7611
Package : elasticsearch
Type : privilege escalation
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-912
Summary
=======
The package elasticsearch before version 6.6.1-1 is vulnerable to
privilege escalation.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 6.6.1-1.
# pacman -Syu "elasticsearch>=6.6.1-1"
The problem has been fixed upstream in version 6.6.1.
Workaround
==========
None.
Description
===========
A permission issue was found in Elasticsearch when Field Level Security
and Document Level Security are disabled and the _aliases, _shrink, or
_split endpoints are used . If the elasticsearch.yml file has
xpack.security.dls_fls.enabled set to false, certain permission checks
are skipped when users perform one of the actions mentioned above, to
make existing data available under a new index/alias name. This could
result in an attacker gaining additional permissions against a
restricted index.
Impact
======
An authenticated remote user can gain additional privileges on a index.
