If you cannot patch yet, restrict or disable expired accounts manually and monitor authentication logs for suspicious activity related to expired accounts.
Description
A vulnerability in the Pacemaker configuration tool (pcs) allows expired user accounts and accounts with expired passwords to authenticate successfully via PAM. This flaw enables unprivileged expired accounts, which should have been denied access, to log in. The issue affects specific versions of pcs and could lead to unauthorized access with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
