High: libcrmcommon: fix CVE-2016-7035 (improper IPC guarding)
    
    It was discovered that at some not so uncommon circumstances, some
    pacemaker daemons could be talked to, via libqb-facilitated IPC, by
    unprivileged clients due to flawed authorization decision.  Depending
    on the capabilities of affected daemons, this might equip unauthorized
    user with local privilege escalation or up to cluster-wide remote
    execution of possibly arbitrary commands when such user happens to
    reside at standard or remote/guest cluster node, respectively.
    
    The original vulnerability was introduced in an attempt to allow
    unprivileged IPC clients to clean up the file system materialized
    leftovers in case the server (otherwise responsible for the lifecycle
    of these files) crashes.  While the intended part of such behavior is
    now effectively voided (along with the unintended one), a best-effort
    fix to address this corner case systemically at libqb is coming along
    (https://github.com/ClusterLabs/libqb/pull/231).
    
    Affected versions:  1.1.10-rc1 (2013-04-17) - 1.1.15 (2016-06-21)
    Impact:             Important
    CVSSv3 ranking:     8.8 : AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
