CVE-2023-41267: Apache HDFS Provider error message suggested installation of incorrect pip package


From: Elad Kalif <eladkal () apache org>

Severity: low

Affected versions:

- Apache Airflow HDFS Provider before 4.1.1

Description:

In the Apache Airflow HDFS Provider, versions prior to 4.1.1, a documentationĀ info pointed users to an install 
incorrect pip package. As this package name was unclaimed, in theory, an attacker could claim this package and provide 
code that would be executed when this package was installed. The Airflow team has since taken ownership of the package 
(neutralizing the risk), and fixed the doc strings in version 4.1.1
