CVE-2016-7797

Pacemaker before 1.1.15, when using pacemaker remote, might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (node disconnection) via an unauthenticated connection.

These are all security issues fixed in the libpacemaker-devel-1.1.15+git20161104.b6f251a-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Jan Pokorný 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)
