Thanks cjervis.

 

I fixed that vulnerability issue.

 

Yes what you said is correct "dotproject" is not related to cloudera. but whene ever we tested the assessment that time we faced like dot project.

 

So, I gave the privileges for 25000 port which impala port. Throught this port only vulnerability raised because of Privilege Escalation vulnerability. Finally it's fixed.

 

Thanks for your responce cjervis.

Sorry for the delay in response @steh, I was seeing what I could find out through my contacts. 

 

The response I received is that the CVE that is referred to applies to "dotProject" which is not Cloudera software. 

 

I hope this helps.
