An ACL bypass flaw was found in pacemaker. An attacker having a local account on the cluster and in the haclient group could use IPC communication with various daemons directly to perform certain tasks that they would be prevented by ACLs from doing if they went through the configuration.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202309-09 (Pacemaker: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - A flaw was found in the way pacemaker's client-server authentication was implemented in versions up to and     including 2.0.0. A local attacker could use this flaw, and combine it with other IPC weaknesses, to     achieve local privilege escalation. (CVE-2018-16877)

  - A flaw was found in pacemaker up to and including version 2.0.1. An insufficient verification inflicted     preference of uncontrolled processes can lead to DoS (CVE-2018-16878)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in pacemaker up to and including version 2.0.1 which could result in     certain sensitive information to be leaked via the system logs. (CVE-2019-3885)

  - An ACL bypass flaw was found in pacemaker. An attacker having a local account on the cluster and in the     haclient group could use IPC communication with various daemons directly to perform certain tasks that     they would be prevented by ACLs from doing if they went through the configuration.

Several security vulnerabilities were addressed in pacemaker, a cluster resource manager.

CVE-2018-16877

A flaw was found in the way pacemaker's client-server authentication was implemented. A local attacker could use this flaw, and combine it with other IPC weaknesses, to achieve local privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-16878

An insufficient verification inflicted preference of uncontrolled processes can lead to denial of service.

CVE-2020-25654

An ACL bypass flaw was found in pacemaker. An attacker having a local account on the cluster and in the haclient group could use IPC communication with various daemons directly to perform certain tasks that they would be prevented by ACLs from doing if they went through the configuration.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.24-0+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your pacemaker packages.

Ken Gaillot discovered a vulnerability in the Pacemaker cluster resource manager: If ACLs were configured for users in the 'haclient'group, the ACL restrictions could be bypassed via unrestricted IPC communication, resulting in cluster-wide arbitrary code execution with root privileges.

If the 'enable-acl' cluster option isn't enabled, members of the'haclient' group can modify Pacemaker's Cluster Information Base without restriction, which already gives them these capabilities, so there is no additional exposure in such a setup.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4623-1 advisory.

    Ken Gaillot discovered that Pacemaker incorrectly handled IPC communications permissions. A local attacker     could possibly use this issue to bypass ACL restrictions and execute arbitrary code as root.
