[OSSA 2012-010] Various Keystone token expiration issues (CVE-2012-3426)
by Thierry Carrez 27 Jul '12

27 Jul '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 OpenStack Security Advisory: 2012-010 CVE: CVE-2012-3426 Date: July 27, 2012 Title: Various Keystone token expiration issues Impact: Medium Reporter: Derek Higgins Products: Keystone Affects: Essex, Folsom Description: Derek Higgins reported various issues affecting Keystone token expiration. A token expiration date can be circumvented by continuously creating new tokens before the old one has expired. Existing tokens also remain valid after a user account is disabled or after an account password changed. An authenticated and authorized user could potentially leverage those vulnerabilities to extend his access beyond the account owner expectations.

Highlights of the week G stands for Grizzly <http://markmail.org/message/nrgea2jdl5ms4hdp> Results of the naming poll for next OpenStack release are in, and the G release will be named "*Grizzly*". The regular poll selected "Gazelle" (35 votes), with "Gilroy" (27 votes) being a close second. But the Grizzly revolt poll showed overwhelming support for the "Grizzly" name (88 votes) rather than going with the results of the regular poll (46 votes). The /Waldon exception/ (accepting elements of the state/country flag in addition to city/county names) will be added to our naming rules for future naming contests :) Some clarifications about Cinder <http://markmail.org/message/bfdqiclqtkv2tqql> With the promotion of Cinder to OpenStack core project, Cinder's PTL John Griffith explained what the project does and what the future release, Grizzly, may look like. OpenStack operators are invited to give their opinion and help developers take the best decision.
