security advisorymoderateFedoraFedora: 2018-05-15 Moderate: MySQL MMM Command Injection Threat
# Multi-Master Replication Manager for MySQL mmm_agentd Remote Command Injection Vulnerabilities This update adds data sanitization to inputs for the mmm agent. Multiple exploitable remote command injection vulnerabilities exist in the MySQL Master-Master Replication Manager (MMM) mmm_agentd daemon 2.2.1. mmm_agentd commonly runs with root privileges and does not require authentication by. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2018-ca5321b5ff 2018-05-15 20:03:56.912735 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name : mysql-mmm Product : Fedora 28 Version : 2.2.1 Release : 20.fc28 URL : https://mysql-mmm.org/ Summary : Multi-Master Replication Manager for MySQL Description : MMM (MySQL Master-Master Replication Manager) is a set of flexible scripts to perform monitoring/failover and management of MySQL Master-Master replication configurations (with only one node writable at any time). The toolset also has the ability to read balance standard master/slave configurations with any number of slaves, so you can use it to move virtual IP addresses around a group of servers depending on whether they are behind in replication. In addition to that, it also has scripts for data backups, resynchronization between nodes etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: # Multi-Master Replication Manager for MySQL mmm_agentd Remote Command Injection Vulnerabilities This update adds data sanitization to inputs for the mmm agent. Multiple exploitable remote command injection vulnerabilities exist in the MySQL Master-Master Replication Manager (MMM) mmm_agentd daemon 2.2.1. mmm_agentd commonly runs with root privileges and does not require authentication by default. A specially crafted MMM protocol message can cause a shell command injection resulting in arbitrary command execution with the privilegesof the mmm_agentd process. An attacker that can initiate a TCP session with mmm_agentd can trigger these vulnerabilities. The impact of these vulnerabilities can be lessened by configuring mmm_agentd to require TLS mutual authentication and by using network ACLs to prevent hosts other than legitimate mmm_mond hosts from accessing mmm_agentd. For example on Linux iptables rules can be used to block access to the port mmm_agent is listening on from all hosts except the mmm_monitor. The configuration of ssl can be used where firewall rules are not practical. See Socket Documentation https://mysql-mmm.org/mysql-mmm.html Add to mmm_common.conf type ssl cert_file /etc/ssl/certs/www..bundle.crt key_file /etc/ssl/certs/www..key ca_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt # or ca-certificates.crt Now only those with access to the private key can send commands. Whilst your web server certificate will do the job, you may consider registering a dedicated certificate just for this task. NOTE: By now there are a some good alternatives to MySQL-MMM.
