How to fix?

This issue was patched in ALSA-2022:6439.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream booth package and not the booth package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The authfile directive in the booth config file is ignored, preventing use of authentication in communications from node to node. As a result, nodes that do not have the correct authentication key are not prevented from communicating with other nodes in the cluster.
