It was found that the pcs daemon did not sign cookies containing session data that were sent to clients connecting via the pcsd web UI.
A remote attacker could use this flaw to forge cookies and bypass authorization checks, possibly gaining elevated privileges in the pcsd web UI. Note: the pcsd web UI is not enabled by default.
(CVE-2015-1848)
This update also fixes the following bug :
After installing the updated packages, the pcsd daemon will be restarted automatically.

This update also fixes the following bug :
- When the IPv6 protocol was disabled on a system,
starting the pcsd daemon on this system previously
failed. This update adds the ability for pcsd to fall
back to IPv4 when IPv6 is not available. As a result,
pcsd starts properly and uses IPv4 if IPv6 is disabled.
After installing the updated packages, the pcsd daemon will be
restarted automatically."
