Moderate: booth security update

Published Sep 20, 2022 · Updated Oct 29, 2026

Summary

The Booth cluster ticket manager is a component to bridge high availability clusters spanning multiple sites, in particular, to provide decision inputs to local Pacemaker cluster resource managers. It operates as a distributed consensus-based service, presumably on a separate physical network. Tickets facilitated by a Booth formation are the units of authorization that can be bound to certain resources. This will ensure that the resources are run at only one (granted) site at a time.

Security Fix(es):

* booth: authfile directive in booth config file is completely ignored. (CVE-2022-2553)
