CVE-2013-0250  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-400  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade corosync/corosync to version 2.3.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). The init_nss_hash function in exec/totemcrypto.c in Corosync 2.0 before 2.3 does not properly initialize the HMAC key, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted packet.
