Tested on F27,F28. By default Cassandra bind JMX on localhost, if I specify LOCAL_JMX=no, it will bind on all interfaces IPs, but without creating password file, user will fail to connect to JMX.

We are backporting  this patch from 3.11.2 since java 1.8.0u161:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/cassandra/blob/master/f/cassandra-3.11.1-Remove-dependencies-on-internal-JMX-classes.patch

I will close it as CURRENTRELEASE if you are fine with it.

Comment 3 Andrej Nemec 2018-10-04 08:09:05 UTC
Sure, the current release looks to be good in regards to this CVE. Thanks!

Comment 4 Jakub Jančo 2018-10-04 08:17:32 UTC
So closing, this was fixed in cassandra-3.11.1-2
