Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Tomas Jelinek 2017-11-20 11:23:09 UTC
From bz1389209 comment 33:
$ pcs quorum device update model \
  "host=$(printf \
    "localhost\n}\nheuristics {\nexec_bar: /usr/bin/sh -c 'echo reboot>>/root/.profile||:'\n")"

Need to check with corosync parser which characters should be disallowed.

Comment 1 Jan Pokorný [poki] 2017-11-20 14:55:19 UTC
This is rather urgent for reasons in [bug 1389209 comment 35].

And rather than being matter of corosync parser, it's a general
deficiency in checking the inputs (possibly from less-privileged
sources, depending on the exact use case) to compose the resulting
corosync.conf from, as currently the precooked configuration
snippets may be injected in "plain unlimited string"-evaluated
instances.

Comment 2 Tomas Jelinek 2017-11-20 15:25:37 UTC
- { anywhere in a line means start of a section -> disallowed
- } anywhere in a line means end of a section -> disallowed
- \n and \r starts a new line which could be used to set its own key-value or section -> disallowed
- : is allowed, as only the first : in a line matters
- # is allowed, as the # only matters when it is the first character in a line (not considering whitespace)
- there is no escaping available

Comment 4 Tomas Jelinek 2020-09-16 12:45:35 UTC
This has already been fixed in RHEL 8: bz1679196.
Due to the current RHEL 7 life cycle stage, there will be no fix for RHEL 7.
