Description Marcus Meissner 2016-06-24 10:49:57 UTC
rh#1313589

It was found that JGroups did not require necessary headers for encrypt and auth protocols from new nodes joining the cluster. An attacker could use this flaw to bypass security restrictions, and use this vulnerability to send and receive messages within the cluster, leading to information disclosure, message spoofing, or further possible attacks.

Comment 1 Marcus Meissner 2016-06-24 10:50:26 UTC
this package does not seem to be shiopped by us, but in the Manager area...

can you please cross check.
Comment 2 Michael Calmer 2016-06-24 12:58:52 UTC
Seems we do not ship it on any of our supported products.

$> grep -r jgroups SUSE:Channels/

does not return anything. I would guess it is a build dependency only.
Moio: do you know something about it?
Comment 3 Michael Calmer 2016-06-24 13:15:40 UTC
hibernat3.spec:
BuildRequires:  jgroups >= 2.2.8

This is only a build requires. We do not ship it.
Comment 4 Marcus Meissner 2016-06-24 13:47:04 UTC
if its not bundled and not shipped, please close after cross checking.
Comment 5 Michael Calmer 2016-06-24 13:58:10 UTC
It is not. Closing
