CVE-2018-10841

glusterfs is vulnerable to privilege escalation on gluster server nodes. An authenticated gluster client via TLS could use gluster cli with --remote-host command to add it self to trusted storage pool and perform privileged gluster operations like adding other machines to trusted storage pool, start, stop, and delete volumes.

• SECURITY UPDATE: privilege escalation on glusterd nodes via the CLI RPC program being exposed on the TCP listener when management-plane SSL is enabled, allowing a TLS-authenticated client outside the trusted storage pool to issue privileged volume-management commands via gluster --remote-host
  • debian/patches/CVE-2018-10841.patch: drop gd_inet_programs[1] = &gd_svc_cli_prog rebinding in glusterd init() so the trusted-pool CLI program remains bound to the TCP listener and the full CLI RPC program continues to be served only over the local UNIX domain socket
