CVE-2023-53262:
Linux Debian vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
A vulnerability was identified in SSR (Session Smart Router) software affecting VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) status functionality. The issue, tracked as CVE-2023-53262, shows active status for both nodes when dual node high availability (HA) is configured. This issue was discovered and documented in SSR version 6.2 release notes (SSN Docs).
Technical details
The vulnerability affects the VRRP status reporting mechanism in SSR's high availability configuration. When configured in a dual node HA setup, the system incorrectly reports both nodes as active simultaneously, which contradicts the expected behavior where only one node should be active at a time in an HA pair.
Impact
The incorrect status reporting of VRRP could lead to confusion in network monitoring and potentially impact the proper functioning of high availability features. This could affect network administrators' ability to accurately assess the current state of their HA setup.
