CVE-2023-37582: Apache RocketMQ: Possible remote code execution when using the update configuration function

[Rongtong Jin <jinrongtong () apache org>]

Severity: moderate

Affected versions:

- Apache RocketMQ 5.0.0 through 5.1.1
- Apache RocketMQ through 4.9.6

Description:

The RocketMQ NameServer component still has a remote command execution vulnerability as the CVE-2023-33246 issue was 
not completely fixed in version 5.1.1. 

When NameServer address are leaked on the extranet and lack permission verification, an attacker can exploit this 
vulnerability by using the update configuration function on the NameServer component to execute commands as the system 
users that RocketMQ is running as. 

It is recommended for users to upgrade their NameServer version to 5.1.2 or above for RocketMQ 5.x or 4.9.7 or above 
for RocketMQ 4.x to prevent these attacks.
