CVE-2023-27486
xCAT es un conjunto de herramientas para el despliegue y la administración de clústeres de computación. En las versiones anteriores a la 2.16.5, si se configuran zonas como mecanismo para proteger los clústeres en xCAT, es posible que un usuario root local de un nodo obtenga credenciales para conectarse por SSH a cualquier nodo de cualquier zona, excepto al nodo de gestión de la zona predeterminada. Las zonas de xCAT no están habilitadas de forma predeterminada. Solo se ven afectados los usuarios que utilizan la función opcional de zonas.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
Todas las versiones de xCAT anteriores a xCAT 2.16.5 son vulnerables. Este problema se ha corregido en xCAT 2.16.5. Los usuarios que utilicen zonas deben actualizar a la 2.16.5. Los usuarios que no puedan actualizar pueden mitigar el problema deshabilitando las zonas o aplicando al nodo de gestión la corrección contenida en el commit `85149c37f49`.

"value": "xCAT is a toolkit for deployment and administration of computer clusters. In versions prior to 2.16.5 if zones are configured as a mechanism to secure clusters in XCAT, it is possible for a local root user from one node to obtain credentials to SSH to any node in any zone, except the management node of the default zone. XCAT zones are not enabled by default. Only users that use the optional zone feature are impacted. All versions of xCAT prior to xCAT 2.16.5 are vulnerable. This problem has been fixed in xCAT 2.16.5. Users making use of zones should upgrade to 2.16.5. Users unable to upgrade may mitigate the issue by disabling zones or patching the management node with the fix contained in commit `85149c37f49`."
