Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H
Pre-auth network reachable with no UI, so AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N; description only substantiates a service crash, so C:N/I:N/A:H.

AnalysisAI
Denial of service in Pacemaker's CIB remote listener allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash the cluster service by sending a specially crafted compressed message. The vulnerability is an integer overflow (CWE-190) triggered during pre-authentication message decompression, leading to memory corruption. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network reachability to a Pacemaker node running the CIB remote listener or pacemaker_remote service (default TCP/3121) with remote-tls-port or remote-clear-port enabled in the CIB; no credentials, TLS client certificate, or PSK knowledge is required because the integer overflow is triggered in header parsing and decompression before the authentication handshake completes. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS:3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H scores 8.6 and reflects a pre-authentication network-reachable bug with high availability impact, which is consistent with the description of a remote listener crash before authentication. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with network reachability to a Pacemaker node's CIB remote listener (TCP/3121) opens a connection and sends a single crafted message whose v0 header fields (payload_offset, payload_compressed, payload_uncompressed, size_total) are chosen to overflow the destination-buffer arithmetic before BZ2 decompression. The undersized allocation and subsequent decompression corrupt heap memory, crashing the CIB remote listener and disrupting cluster management; with no public exploit identified at time of analysis, this is a one-shot DoS scenario rather than a chained intrusion. |
| Remediation | Upstream fix available (PR/commit https://github.com/clusterLabs/pacemaker/pull/4128); released patched version not independently confirmed, so administrators should track their distribution's Pacemaker package update (Red Hat advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-10649 and Bugzilla #2462817 at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2462817, plus the oss-security thread at https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2026/q2/944) and upgrade as soon as a tagged release or vendor errata is published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: inventory Pacemaker deployments and identify external network exposure of CIB remote listener (typically port 40000); implement firewall rules restricting listener access to trusted management networks only. …
