Debian DLA-2447-2 : pacemaker regression update

high Nessus Plugin ID 142832

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The update of pacemaker released as DLA-2447-1 caused a regression when the communication between the Corosync cluster engine and pacemaker takes place. A permission problem prevents IPC requests between cluster nodes. The patch for CVE-2020-25654 has been reverted until a better solution can be found.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.16-1+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your pacemaker packages.

For the detailed security status of pacemaker please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/pacemaker

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
