Descriptions

The authfile directive in the booth config file is ignored, preventing use of authentication in communications from node to node. As a result, nodes that do not have the correct authentication key are not prevented from communicating with other nodes in the cluster.

La directiva authfile en el archivo de configuración de booth es ignorada, impidiendo el uso de la autenticación en las comunicaciones de nodo a nodo. Como resultando, los nodos que no presentan la clave de autenticación correcta no son impedidos de comunicarse con otros nodos en el cluster

A flaw was found in booth in the way it handles the authfile directive in configuration files, which causes authentication to be skipped between nodes. As a result, an attacker-controlled node that does not have the correct authentication key does not prevent communication with other nodes in the cluster.
