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.

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2018-3233:03 advisory.

    GlusterFS is a key building block of Asianux Gluster Storage. It is based     on a stackable user-space design and can deliver exceptional performance     for diverse workloads. GlusterFS aggregates various storage servers over     network interconnections into one large, parallel network file system.
    Security Fix:
    * glusterfs: access trusted peer group via remote-host command     (CVE-2018-10841)
