In versions older than 1.0.0, however, the MXNet framework will listen on 0.0.0.0 rather than user specified DMLC_PS_ROOT_URI once a scheduler node is initialized. This exposes the instance running MXNet to any attackers reachable via the interface they didn't expect to be listening on. For example: If a user wants to run a clustered setup locally, they may specify to run on 127.0.0.1. But since MXNet will listen on 0.0.0.0, it makes the port accessible on all network interfaces." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "Allows unauthorized access" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "https://github.com/dmlc/ps-lite/commit/4be817e8b03e7e92517e91f2dfcc50865e91c6ea", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://github.com/dmlc/ps-lite/commit/4be817e8b03e7e92517e91f2dfcc50865e91c6ea" } ] } }
