Description
CVE-2024-3049 is a vulnerability in Booth, a cluster ticket manager used in high availability clusters. The flaw allows a specially crafted hash to be passed to the function gcry_md_get_algo_dlen(), potentially causing the Booth server to accept an invalid HMAC.

The issue affects Booth version 1.0-283.1 and has a CVSS score of 5.9, indicating a medium severity impact primarily on integrity.
