CVE-2016-7035 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:14 pacemaker to version 1.1.15-3 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pacemaker package and not the pacemaker package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.
An authorization flaw was found in Pacemaker before 1.1.16, 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.
