Reason: Fixes CVE-2020-13946 Apache Cassandra RMI Rebind Vulnerability
Description:
It is possible for a local attacker without access to the Apache Cassandra
process or configuration files to manipulate the RMI registry to perform a
man-in-the-middle attack and capture user names and passwords used to access
the JMX interface. The attacker can then use these credentials to access
the JMX interface and perform unauthorised operations.
Users should also be aware of CVE-2019-2684, a JRE vulnerability that enables
this issue to be exploited remotely.
3.0.x users should upgrade to 3.0.22

Would previously overwrite the binary with the wrapper and thus wrap
itself (resulting in an infinite recursion on execution) for the
binaries in /bin.t
unix-tools.nix has a collection of tools that are commonly installed
by default in Unix derivatives. This is intended to provide
compatibility between macOS and Linux users. Three Linux-only
derivations are provided for compatbility:
- procps
- utillinux
- nettools
More tools are also provided.
Also: treewide: use unixtools
Non-comprehensive replace of Linux-only procps and util-linux with
'unixtools'.
This change:
- refactors the packages so it is easier to create and update new versions of
cassandra.
- fixes a bug where Cassandra will not connect to another member unless
LD_PRELOADing libstdc++.so. Without that change, it generates a stack trace
and dies with exceptions regarding org.xerial.snappy.
- restricts platform to linux as procps is also linux only.
