[OSSA 2014-028] Glance store DoS through disk space exhaustion (CVE-2014-5356)
by Tristan Cacqueray 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2014-028 CVE: CVE-2014-5356 Date: August 21, 2014 Title: Glance store DoS through disk space exhaustion Reporter: Thomas Leaman (HP), Stuart McLaren (HP) Products: Glance Versions: up to 2013.2.3 and 2014.1 versions up to 2014.1.2 Description: Thomas Leaman and Stuart McLaren from Hewlett Packard reported a vulnerability in Glance. By uploading a large enough image to a Glance store, an authenticated user may fill the store space because the image_size_cap configuration option is not honored. This may prevent further image upload and/or cause service disruption. Note that the import method is not affected. All Glance setups using API v2 are affected (unless you use a policy to restrict/disable image upload). Juno (development branch) fix: https://review.openstack.org/91764 Icehouse fix: https://review.openstack.org/115280 Havana fix: https://review.openstack.org/115289 Notes: This fix will be included in the Juno-3 development milestone and in future 2013.2.4 and 2014.1.3 releases.

A malicious administrator may conduct a persistent XSS attack by registering a malicious host aggregate in Horizon Host Aggregate interface. Once executed in a legitimate context this attack may reveal another admin token, potentially resulting in a lateral privilege escalation. All Horizon setups are affected. Juno (development branch) fix: https://review.openstack.org/115310 Icehouse fix: https://review.openstack.org/115311 Havana fix: https://review.openstack.org/115313 Notes: This fix will be included in the Juno-3 development milestone and in future 2013.2.4 and 2014.1.3 releases.

[OSSA 2014-026] Multiple vulnerabilities in Keystone revocation events (CVE-2014-5251, CVE-2014-5252, CVE-2014-5253)
by Tristan Cacqueray 15 Aug '14

15 Aug '14

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2014-026 CVE: CVE-2014-5251, CVE-2014-5252, CVE-2014-5253 Date: August 15, 2014 Title: Multiple vulnerabilities in Keystone revocation events Reporter: Lance Bragstad (Rackspace) - CVE-2014-5252 Brant Knudson (IBM) - CVE-2014-5251, CVE-2014-5253 Products: Keystone Versions: 2014.1 versions up to 2014.1.1 Description: Lance Bragstad from Rackspace and Brant Knudson from IBM reported 3 vulnerabilities in Keystone revocation events. Lance Bragstad discovered that UUID v2 tokens processed by the V3 API are incorrectly updated and get their "issued_at" time regenerated (CVE-2014-5252). Brant Knudson discovered that the MySQL token driver stores expiration dates incorrectly which prevents manual revocation (CVE-2014-5251) and that domain-scoped tokens don't get revoked when the domain is disabled (CVE-2014-5253). Tokens impacted by one of these bugs may allow a user to evade token revocation. Only Keystone setups configured to use revocation events are affected. Juno (development branch) fix: https://review.openstack.org/111106 https://review.openstack.org/109747 https://review.openstack.org/109819 https://review.openstack.org/109820 Icehouse fix: https://review.openstack.org/112087 https://review.openstack.org/111772 https://review.openstack.org/112083 https://review.openstack.org/112084 Notes: These fixes will be included in the Juno-3 development milestone and are already included in the 2014.1.2.1 release.
