Pacemaker: pacemaker: denial of service via integer overflow in remote message decompression
A flaw was found in Pacemaker. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit an integer overflow vulnerability in the remote message decompression process. By sending a specially crafted compressed remote message before authentication, an attacker can cause memory corruption, leading to a denial of service (DoS) in the CIB remote listener. This can result in the affected service crashing.
Disable the Pacemaker CIB remote listener if it is not actively used. If the listener is required, restrict network access to trusted hosts by configuring firewall rules to limit inbound connections to the `remote-port` or `remote-tls-port`. These actions reduce the attack surface by limiting unauthenticated network exposure to the vulnerable component. A restart of the Pacemaker service may be necessary for these changes to be fully applied.
