Description Sam Fowler 2018-08-06 06:09:54 UTC

The Gluster filesystem during a file rename only validates that the source path exists within the mounted volume. This can allow an attacker to rename files in locations outside a mounted volume.

Comment 5 Doran Moppert 2018-08-16 01:54:59 UTC

Statement:

This issue did not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 as the flaw is present in glusterfs-server, which is not shipped there.

This flaw affects glusterfs versions included in Red Hat Virtualization 4 Hypervisor. However, in recommended configurations, the vulnerability is only exposed to hypervisor administrators and can not be exploited from virtual machines or other hosts on the network. For Red Hat Virtualization, Product Security has rated this flaw as Moderate. For additional information, refer to the Issue Severity Classification: https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/.

Comment 12 Siddharth Sharma 2018-09-04 14:47:45 UTC

Mitigation:

To limit exposure of gluster server nodes :  

1. gluster server should be on LAN and not reachable from public networks.  
2. Use gluster auth.allow and auth.reject.  
3. Use TLS certificates to authenticate gluster clients.

caveat: This does not protect from attacks by authenticated gluster clients.
