A flaw was found in ricci during a code audit. A remote attacker who is able to connect to ricci could cause ricci to temporarily refuse additional connections, a denial of service (CVE-2007-4136).

Fixes in this updated package include :

  • The nodename is now set for manual fencing.

  • The node log no longer displays in random order.

  • A bug that prevented a node from responding when a cluster was deleted is now fixed.

  • A PAM configuration that incorrectly called the deprecated module pam_stack was removed.

  • A bug that prevented some quorum disk configurations from being accepted is now fixed.

  • Setting multicast addresses now works properly.

  • rpm -V on luci no longer fails.

  • The user interface rendering time for storage interface is now faster.

  • An error message that incorrectly appeared when rebooting nodes during cluster creation was removed.

  • Cluster snaps configuration (an unsupported feature) has been removed altogether to prevent user confusion.

  • A user permission bug resulting from a luci code error is now fixed.

  • luci and ricci init script return codes are now LSB-compliant.

  • VG creation on cluster nodes now defaults to ‘clustered’.

  • An SELinux AVC bug that prevented users from setting up shared storage on nodes is now fixed.

  • An access error that occurred when attempting to access a cluster node after its cluster was deleted is now fixed.

  • IP addresses can now be used to create clusters.

  • Attempting to configure a fence device no longer results in an AttributeError.

  • Attempting to create a new fence device to a valid cluster no longer results in a KeyError.

  • Several minor user interface validation errors have been fixed, such as enforcing cluster name length and fence port, etc.

  • A browser lock-up that could occur during storage configuration has been fixed.

  • Virtual service creation now works without error.

  • The fence_xvm tag is no longer misspelled in the cluster.conf file.

  • Luci failover forms are complete and working.

  • Rebooting a fresh cluster install no longer generates an error message.

  • A bug that prevented failed cluster services from being started is now fixed.

  • A bug that caused some cluster operations (e.g., node delete) to fail on clusters with mixed-cased cluster names is now fixed.

  • Global cluster resources can be reused when constructing cluster services.

Enhancements in this updated package include :

  • Users can now access Conga through Internet Explorer 6.

  • Dead nodes can now be evicted from a cluster.

  • Shared storage on new clusters is now enabled by default.

  • The fence user-interface flow is now simpler.

  • A port number is now shown in ricci error messages.

  • The kmod-gfs-xen kernel module is now installed when creating a cluster.

  • Cluster creation status is now shown visually.

  • User names are now sorted for display.

  • The fence_xvmd tag can now be added from the dom0 cluster nodes.

  • The ampersand character (&) can now be used in fence names.

  • All packaged files are now installed with proper owners and permissions.

  • New cluster node members are now properly initialized.

  • Storage operations can now be completed even if an LVM snapshot is present.

  • Users are now informed via dialog when nodes are rebooted as part of a cluster operation.

  • Failover domains are now properly listed for virtual services and traditional clustered services.

  • Luci can now create and distribute keys for fence_xvmd.
