Summary
IBM Security Guardium has fixed these vulnerabilities by updating the Apache Thrift component.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2016-5397
DESCRIPTION: Apache Thrift could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by the use of an external formatting tool during code generation in the Go client library.

CVEID: CVE-2018-11798
DESCRIPTION: Apache Thrift could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by improper access control in the Node.js static file server. An attacker could send a specially crafted request to access arbitrary files that are stored outside the set webservers docroot path.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/155198 for the current score.
