Amazon Linux 2 : pacemaker (ALAS-2021-1583)

high Nessus Plugin ID 144796

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of pacemaker installed on the remote host is prior to 1.1.23-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1583 advisory.

 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. (CVE-2020-25654)

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

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

Solution

Run 'yum update pacemaker' to update your system.
