Technical Analysis

The pcs packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Extended Update Support include rubygem-rack, which has been found vulnerable to several denial of service issues: CVE-2024-25126 (Content-Type parsing), CVE-2024-26141 (Range header handling), and CVE-2024-26146 (header parsing). These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service condition. Red Hat has issued a security advisory RHSA-2024:2581 providing updated pcs packages that address these vulnerabilities. The advisory covers multiple architectures and variants of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Extended Update Support.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could result in denial of service conditions affecting the pcs command-line configuration system for Pacemaker and Corosync. This could disrupt high availability and resilient storage services relying on these components. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Mitigation Recommendations

Red Hat has released updated pcs packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Extended Update Support that fix these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the updates as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2024:2581 and the referenced article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258.
