CVE-2022-2553  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-287  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:14 booth to version 1.0-268-gdce51f9-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream booth package and not the booth package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:14 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.
