Publication date: 22 Jan 2021
URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2021-0049.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 7
CVE: CVE-2020-25459

The crm configure and hb_report commands failed to sanitize sensitive
information by default (bsc#1163581).

An issue was discovered in ClusterLabs crmsh through 4.2.1. Local attackersable to call "crm history" (when "crm" is run) were able to execute commands
via shell code injection to the crm history commandline, potentially allowing
escalation of privileges (CVE-2020-25459).

The crmsh package has been updated to the latest git snapshot and patched for
CVE-2020-25459, fixing these issues and several others.
