Fixed In Version: booth v1.0-263-g35bf0b7
Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
A flaw was found in booth in the way it handles the authfile directive in configuration files, which causes authentication to be skipped between nodes. As a result, an attacker-controlled node that does not have the correct authentication key does not prevent communication with other nodes in the cluster.
