Synopsis:          Important: pacemaker security update
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2016:2675-01
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL:      https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016:2675.html
Issue date:        2016-11-08
CVE Names:         CVE-2016-7035 
====================================================================
1. Summary:

An update for pacemaker is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability
from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux High Availability (v. 6) - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Resilient Storage (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

3. Description:

The Pacemaker cluster resource manager is a collection of technologies
working together to provide data integrity and the ability to maintain
application availability in the event of a failure.

Security Fix(es):

* An authorization flaw was found in Pacemaker, where it did not properly
guard its IPC interface. An attacker with an unprivileged account on a
Pacemaker node could use this flaw to, for example, force the Local
Resource Manager daemon to execute a script as root and thereby gain root
access on the machine. (CVE-2016-7035)

This issue was discovered by Jan "poki" Pokorny (Red Hat) and Alain Moulle
(ATOS/BULL).
