CVE-2022-41853 - Use of Externally-Controlled Input to Select Classes or Code
('Unsafe Reflection')
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several Progress DataDirect ODBC drivers utilized a version of HyperSQL
Database that was vulnerable to remote code execution described in
CVE-2022-41853. All impacted drivers have been patched to fix this
vulnerability. For details on impacted drivers and fixed versions, refer to
the following KB article:
https://community.progress.com/s/article/DataDirect-ODBC-Critical-Security-
Bulletin-November-2022-CVE-2022-41853
Enhancements
------------
* The product package now includes .pdb files. These files contain
debugging symbols that can be used for diagnosing and debugging
issues in the driver.
* The driver is now compiled with a Visual Studio 2022 compiler for Windows
platforms. As a result, you must have Microsoft Visual C/C++ runtime
version 14.40.33810 or higher on your machine to run the driver.
* The ICU library files that are installed with the product have been
upgraded to version 74.1. As a part of this upgrade, the ICU library
file names have changed:
- For the 32-bit driver: From ivicu28.dll to ivicu.dll
- For the 64-bit driver: From ddicu28.dll to ddicu.dll
This upgrade is available starting in build 08.02.1072 of the ICU
library files.
* The driver has been enhanced to support fetching data from all the companies
to which the user has access. Earlier, it supported fetching data only from
the default company of the user. You can configure this functionality using
the new Cross Company (CrossCompany) connection option.
Feature details:
Available: Driver version 8.0.0.1485 (B1227, U1070)-J2178
* The installer program has been enhanced to support Azul Zulu JRE 11.
As a result of this change, the installer has ended support for platforms
that do not support Java SE 8 or higher. The installer supports the following
operating systems after the enhancement:
* Windows:
- Windows 8.1 or higher
- Windows Server 2012 RC2 or higher
Important: These changes do not affect the operating system requirements of
the driver.
* The driver has been enhanced to allow you to configure whether requests
to web services timeout when the service is unresponsive. You can configure
this functionality using the new Web Service Timeout (WSTimeout) connection
option.
Changed Behavior
----------------
* The installer program now requires you to install a JRE that is Java SE 11 or
higher before running the installer. In earlier versions, the JRE used by the
installer program was included in the product. However, to avoid potential
security vulnerabilities, the installer program no longer includes a JRE.
Instead, the installer program uses the JRE in your environment to allow for
the most secure version of a JRE to be used.
Notes:
- This change does not affect the JVM requirements for the driver. For the latest
driver requirements, refer to the Product Compatibility Guide:
https://docs.progress.com/bundle/datadirect-product-compatibility/resource/
datadirect-product-compatibility.pdf
- The installer program cannot remove the already installed JRE files from the
install directory automatically. Remove them manually.
- To install the 32-bit drivers on 64-bit Windows platforms and start the SQL
engine service, the installer requires the 32-bit version of Java SE 11 or
higher installed on your machine and defined on your path.
* The installer program has been updated to no longer install common components
for drivers that do not use them. As a result, the installer program no longer
installs the following common components for the Microsoft Dynamics 365
driver:
- OpenSSL library files, such as ivopenssl30.dll, ddopenssl30.dll, fips.dll, and
openssl.cnf.
- Curl library files, such as ivcurl28.dll and ddcurl28.dll.
If the files are not used by any other DataDirect driver on your machine, you
can safely remove them from existing product directories.
* The following connection options have been removed from the driver:
Connection Retry Count (ConnectionRetryCount), Connection Retry Delay
(ConnectionRetryDelay), LoginTimeout (LoginTimeout), and Query Timeout
(QueryTimeout).
Release 8.0.0 Features
The Progress DataDirect for ODBC for Microsoft Dynamics 365 driver supports SQL
read-write access for ODBC applications to Microsoft Dynamics 365 apps. To
support SQL access to Dynamics 365 apps, the driver creates a relational map of
the Dynamics 365 data model and translates SQL statements to Dynamics 365
requests. In addition, the driver employs a SQL engine component that provides
support to SQL constructs unavailable in Microsoft Dynamics 365. This
functionality offers a number of advantages, including support for reporting
data and metadata in a form that ODBC applications are ready to use.
Features:
* Supports SQL read-write access to the following Microsoft Dynamics 365 apps.
- Dynamics 365 Marketing
- Dynamics 365 Sales
- Dynamics 365 Field Service
- Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation
- Dynamics 365 Customer Service
* The driver supports all ODBC Core and Level 1 functions and some Level 1 and
Level 2 features.
* Supports Dynamics 365 data types through data type inference.
* Supports OAuth 2.0 authentication
* Supports NTLM authentication
* Supports the handling of large result sets with paging and the
Fetch Size (FetchSize) connection option
* Supports optimizing insert, update, and delete operations with the Batch
Update Chunk Size (BatchUpdateChunkSize) connection option.
* Includes the DataDirect ODBC Driver Configuration Manager for quick
configuration and testing of your driver. This Configuration Manager allows
you to:
- Configure data sources
- Generate and edit connection URLs
- Test connect data sources and connection URLs
- Execute SQL commands for testing
- Fetch OAuth tokens
- Access connection property descriptions and the full product
documentation
DataDirect ODBC Driver Configuration Manager
The driver includes a browser-based configuration tool, the DataDirect ODBC
Driver Configuration Manager, that allows you to generate and test connection
URLs that you can use with your application. You can launch the Configuration
Manager by opening the ODBC Administrator from the Progress DataDirect
program group and creating or configuring a data source for the driver.
The Configuration Manager will open in your default web browser. For more
information, refer to the user's guide for your driver.
Notes, Known Problems, and Restrictions
The following are notes, known problems, and restrictions for the
8.0 release of the driver:
Specifying values for the same connection option multiple times
---------------------------------------------------------------
The driver does not support specifying values for the same connection
option multiple times in a connection string or DSN. If a value is
specified using the same attribute multiple times or using both
long and short attributes, the connection may fail or the driver may
not behave as intended.
Connection delay
----------------
An initial connection may take a few minutes, depending on network speeds and
the amount of metadata the driver must retrieve from the service. Similar
delays may occur in the following scenarios.
* When the Create Map (CreateMap) connection option is set to 4 (OnChange)
(default) and changes have been made to the schema on the Dynamics 365
backend
* When starting a new session with Create Map set to Session
* When Create Map is set to 0 (NotExist) and the internal schema files specified by
SchemaMap do not exist
* When Create Map is set to 1 (ForceNew)
Using Tableau and other third-party tools
-----------------------------------------
When using third-party tools such as Tableau, network speeds and the amount of
metadata retrieved from the service can cause timeout and out-of-memory errors.
You can work around these issues in the following ways.
1. Increase timeout settings in your third-party tool. For example, Tableau
offers the following guidance for timeout errors caused by large results:
https://kb.tableau.com/articles/issue/error-extract-timeout
You may also need to increase the Java heap size allotted for your
third-party tool. This allows the tool to manage large metadata results
sent by the service. This workaround not only avoids timeout and
out-of-memory errors on initial connection, but may also avoid these errors
on subsequent connections.
2. Establish your initial connection using the DataDirect ODBC Driver
Configuration Manager as described in "Testing connections and queries" in
the user's guide. In addition to specifying required properties, set the
Schema Map (SchemaMap) connection option. Schema Map specifies the location
and name of the configuration file where the map of the Dynamics 365 schema
is written. Once connected, you can use the connection string generated by
the Configuration Manager to connect via your third-party tool. However, it
should be noted that timeout and out-of-memory errors may occur on
subsequent connections, depending on the Create Map (CreateMap) setting. See
the user's guide for more information.
Connection issues when specifying ExtendedOptions
-------------------------------------------------
When specifying a value for the Extended Options (ExtendedOptions) option in
the Configuration Manger, the driver currently adds the option and its value to
the Connection String field. However, the ExtendedOptions attribute is not
supported in Connection Strings; therefore, attempting to connect with the
generated connection string or executing a test connect with the configuration
manager will result in the an “Invalid attribute in the connection string: XO”
error.
To work around this issue, manually edit the connection string to remove
"ExtendedOptions=" from the connection string; then, specify the value of
ExtendOptions as semi-colon separated options in the string.
For example:
Driver=<driver_name>;HostName=<host_name>;ExtendedOptions=WorkArounds2=4096,
WorkArounds2=8192;
Becomes:
Driver=<driver_name>;HostName=<host_name>;WorkArounds2=4096;WorkArounds2=8192;
Out-of-memory Errors
--------------------
The driver has been designed to handle large result sets that result. However,
out-of-memory errors can still occur. The following items outline how to reduce
the likelihood of out-of-memory errors for your environment.
* Reduce Fetch Size (FetchSize) to reduce demands on memory. By lowering the
maximum number of rows as specified by Fetch Size, you lower the number of
rows the driver is required to process before returning data to the
application. Thus, you reduce demands on memory and decrease the likelihood
of out-of-memory errors.
* Decrease Result Memory Size (ResultMemorySize) until results are successfully
returned. Intermediate results larger than the value specified will be
written to disk as opposed to held in memory. When configured correctly, this
avoids memory limitations by not relying on memory to process larger
intermediate results. Be aware that while writing to disk reduces the risk of
out-of-memory errors, it also negatively impacts performance. For optimal
performance, decrease this value only to a size necessary to avoid errors. By
default, Result Memory Size is set to -1, which sets the maximum size of
intermediate results held in memory to a percentage of the max Java heap
size. If you received errors using the default configuration, use the max
Java heap size divided by 4 as a starting point when tuning this option.
* Increase the JVM heap size. By increasing the max Java heap size, you increase
the amount of data the driver can accumulate in memory and avoid
out-of-memory errors.
126 Error When Modifying Data Sources on Windows 10
---------------------------------------------------
You may receive a 126 error when adding or configuring a data source stored
on a network location. This might be caused by the settings of the User Account
Control (UAC) security feature on Windows 10. To work around this issue:
Important: Implementing this fix disables security safeguards that are designed
to protect your machine. Before starting, refer to the following Microsoft
documentation for potential risks associated with disabling the UAC feature:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/
windows/what-are-user-account-control-settings
1. From the Start menu, type regedit in the search field; then, select regedit
from the results list. The Registry Editor window opens.
2. Navigate to the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
3. Right click on the subkey; then, select New > DWORD Value.
4. Rename the new value EnableLinkedConnections.
5. Right-click EnableLinkedConnections, and then click Modify. The Edit DWORD
Value window opens.
6. In the Value data field, type 1. Click OK.
7. Close the Registry Editor; then, restart your computer.
