From 07e1f547575096ad8a0a56394d8710488b4ac9ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Jan=20Pokorn=C3=BD?= Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2016 18:09:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] High: libcrmcommon: fix CVE-2016-7035 (improper IPC guarding) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit It was discovered that at some not so uncommon circumstances, some pacemaker daemons could be talked to, via libqb-facilitated IPC, by unprivileged clients due to flawed authorization decision. Depending on the capabilities of affected daemons, this might equip unauthorized user with local privilege escalation or up to cluster-wide remote execution of possibly arbitrary commands when such user happens to reside at standard or remote/guest cluster node, respectively. The original vulnerability was introduced in an attempt to allow unprivileged IPC clients to clean up the file system materialized leftovers in case the server (otherwise responsible for the lifecycle of these files) crashes. While the intended part of such behavior is now effectively voided (along with the unintended one), a best-effort fix to address this corner case systemically at libqb is coming along.
