CVE-2024-52338: PYSEC-2024-161 - Deserialization of untrusted data in IPC and Parquet readers in the Apache Arrow R package versions…
CVE-2024-52338 · Severity: info · Published 2024-11-28
Deserialization of untrusted data in IPC and Parquet readers in the Apache Arrow R package versions 4.0.0 through 16.1.0 allows arbitrary code execution. An application is vulnerable if it
reads Arrow IPC, Feather or Parquet data from untrusted sources (for
example, user-supplied input files). This vulnerability only affects the arrow R package, not other Apache Arrow
implementations or bindings unless those bindings are specifically used via the R package (for example, an R application that embeds a Python interpreter and uses PyArrow to read files from untrusted sources is still vulnerable if the arrow R package is an affected version). It is recommended that users of the arrow R package upgrade to 17.0.0 or later. Similarly, it
is recommended that downstream libraries upgrade their dependency
requirements to arrow 17.0.0 or later. If using an affected
version of the package, untrusted data can read into a Table and its internal to_data_frame() method can be used as a workaround (e.g., read_parquet(..., as_data_frame = FALSE)$to_data_frame()).
This issue affects the Apache Arrow R package: from 4.0.0 through 16.1.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 17.0.0, which fixes the issue.
Yes. pyarrow (PyPI): upgrade to 17.0.0 or later. Junglewise finds every place you run it, drafts the upgrade and applies it once you approve.
Am I affected by CVE-2024-52338?
Check whether you run pyarrow (PyPI) at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.
