CVE-2016-7035

25
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-7035 describes an authorization flaw in Pacemaker versions prior to 1.1.16, impacting various Red Hat Enterprise Linux and clusterlabs products. This vulnerability allows an unprivileged local attacker to execute arbitrary scripts as root, leading to full system compromise (confidentiality, integrity, and availability). Rated 7.8 HIGH, it requires local access but has low attack complexity and no user interaction. While no public exploits or active exploitation have been observed, and community discussion is minimal, the potential for root access makes it a significant local privilege escalation risk.
