This violates and works around the authorization requirement that creating a Kudu external table via Impala requires an \"ALL\" privilege at the server scope. This privilege requirement for \"CREATE\" commands is enforced to precisely avoid this scenario where a malicious user can change the underlying Kudu table mapping. The fix is to enforce the same privilege requirement for \"ALTER\" commands that would make existing non-external Kudu tables external.","title":"Description of the CVE"},{"category":"legal_disclaimer","text":"CSAF 2.0 data is provided by SUSE under the Creative Commons License 4.0 with Attribution (CC-BY-4.0).","title":"Terms of use"}],"publisher":{"category":"vendor","contact_details":"https://www.suse.com/support/security/contact/","name":"SUSE Product Security Team","namespace":"https://www.suse.com/"},"references":[{"category":"external","summary":"CVE-2017-9792","url":"https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2017-9792"},{"category":"external","summary":"SUSE Security Ratings","url":"https://www.suse.com/support/security/rating/"},{"category":"external","summary":"SUSE Bug 138083 for CVE-2017-9792","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/138083"}],"title":"SUSE CVE CVE-2017-9792","tracking":{"current_release_date":"2025-04-04T03:19:52Z","generator":{"date":"2025-04-04T03:19:52Z","engine":{"name":"cve-database.git:bin/generate-csaf-vex.pl","version":"1"}},"id":"CVE-2017-9792","initial_release_date":"2025-04-04T03:19:52Z","revision_history":[{"date":"2025-04-04T03:19:52Z","number":"2","summary":"Current version"}],"status":"interim","version":"2"}}}
