Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS : Pacemaker vulnerabilities (USN-3462-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 104143

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3462-1 advisory.

 Jan Pokorn and Alain Moulle discovered that Pacemaker incorrectly handled the IPC interface. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. (CVE-2016-7035)

 Alain Moulle discovered that Pacemaker incorrectly handled authentication. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to shut down connections, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-7797)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
