CVE-2019-10174
Description
A vulnerability was found in Infinispan such that the invokeAccessibly method from the public class ReflectionUtil allows any application class to invoke private methods in any class with Infinispan's privileges. The attacker can use reflection to introduce new, malicious behavior into the application.
Statement
Red Hat OpenStack Platform's OpenDaylight contains the vulnerable library. This library is a requirement of other dependencies (Karaf and Hibernate). Under supported deployments, the vulnerable functionality is not utilized. Based on this, no OpenDaylight versions will not be fixed.
Mitigation
There is no known mitigation for this issue.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Integrity,Confidentiality,Availability,Other
Technical Impact: Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands; Alter Execution Logic
The attacker might be able to execute code that is not directly accessible to the attacker. Alternately, the attacker could call unexpected code in the wrong place or the wrong time, possibly modifying critical system state.
Availability,Other
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart; Other
The attacker might be able to use reflection to call the wrong code, possibly with unexpected arguments that violate the API (CWE-227). This could cause the product to exit or hang.
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Read Application Data
By causing the wrong code to be invoked, the attacker might be able to trigger a runtime error that leaks sensitive information in the error message, such as CWE-536.
