OpenStack 2015.1.0 ("Kilo") is released !
by Thierry Carrez 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

Hello everyone, I'm delighted to announce the final release of OpenStack 2015.1.0, code-named "Kilo". This concludes the 6-month Kilo development cycle, which saw the completion of more than 400 features and the fixing of more than 3300 bugs (only considering the 12 projects that make up this release !). In the name of all the contributors to this release, the OpenStack Technical Committee would like to dedicate it to the loving memory of Chris Yeoh, who passed away from cancer earlier this month. Chris was a long time and prolific open source developer, most recently with IBM. He contributed significantly to the OpenStack project, most notably in the Nova project team. His community spirit, technical contributions and friendship will be missed. You can find source tarballs, together with complete lists of features and bugfixes for each project, at the following links: Compute (Nova): https://launchpad.net/nova/kilo/2015.1.0 Object Storage (Swift): https://launchpad.net/swift/kilo/2.3.0 Image Service (Glance): https://launchpad.net/glance/kilo/2015.1.0 Networking (Neutron): https://launchpad.net/neutron/kilo/2015.1.0 Block Storage (Cinder): https://launchpad.net/cinder/kilo/2015.1.0 Identity (Keystone): https://launchpad.net/keystone/kilo/2015.1.0 Dashboard (Horizon): https://launchpad.net/horizon/kilo/2015.1.0 Telemetry (Ceilometer): https://launchpad.net/ceilometer/kilo/2015.1.0 Orchestration (Heat): https://launchpad.net/heat/kilo/2015.1.0 Database Service (Trove): https://launchpad.net/trove/kilo/2015.1.0 Data Processing (Sahara): https://launchpad.net/sahara/kilo/2015.1.0 Bare metal (Ironic): https://launchpad.net/ironic/kilo/2015.1.0 The Kilo Release Notes wikipage contains an overview of the key features, as well as upgrade notes and current lists of known issues.

[OSSA 2015-007] S3Token TLS cert verification option not honored (CVE-2015-1852)
by Tristan Cacqueray 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

=============================================================== OSSA-2015-007: S3Token TLS cert verification option not honored =============================================================== :Date: April 14, 2015 :CVE: CVE-2015-1852 Affects ~~~~~~~ - python-keystoneclient: versions through 1.3.0 - keystonemiddleware: versions through 1.5.0 Description ~~~~~~~~~~~ Brant Knudson from IBM reported a vulnerability in keystonemiddleware (formerly shipped as python-keystoneclient). When the 'insecure' option is set in a S3Token paste configuration file its value is effectively ignored and instead assumed to be true. As a result certificate verification will be disabled, leaving TLS connections open to MITM attacks. Note that it's unusual to explicitly add this option and then set it to false, so the impact of this bug is thought to be limited. All versions of s3_token middleware with TLS settings configured are affected by this flaw. Patches ~~~~~~~ - https://review.openstack.org/173378 (python-keystoneclient) (Icehouse) - https://review.openstack.org/173376 (keystonemiddleware) (Juno) - https://review.openstack.org/173377 (python-keystoneclient) (Juno) - https://review.openstack.org/173365 (keystonemiddleware) (Kilo) - https://review.openstack.org/173370 (python-keystoneclient) (Kilo) Credits ~~~~~~~ - Brant Knudson from IBM (CVE-2015-1852) References ~~~~~~~~~~ - https://launchpad.net/bugs/1411063 - http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-1852 Notes ~~~~~ - This fix will be included in keystonemiddleware 1.6.0 release and python-keystoneclient 1.4.0 release. -- Tristan Cacqueray OpenStack Vulnerability Management Team

[OSSA 2015-006] Unauthorized delete of versioned Swift object (CVE-2015-1856)
by Tristan Cacqueray 15 Apr '15

============================================================ OSSA-2015-006: Unauthorized delete of versioned Swift object ============================================================ :Date: April 14, 2015 :CVE: CVE-2015-1856 Affects ~~~~~~~ - Swift: versions through 2.2.2 Description ~~~~~~~~~~~ Clay Gerrard from SwiftStack reported a vulnerability in Swift object versioning. An authenticated user can delete the most recent version of any versioned object whose name is known if the user have listing access to the x-versions-location container. Only Swift setups with allow_version setting are affected. Patches ~~~~~~~ - https://review.openstack.org/173366 (Icehouse) - https://review.openstack.org/173363 (Juno) - https://review.openstack.org/173361 (Kilo) Credits ~~~~~~~ - Clay Gerrard from SwiftStack (CVE-2015-1856) References ~~~~~~~~~~ - https://launchpad.net/bugs/1430645 - http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-1856 Notes ~~~~~ - This fix will be included in the upcoming 2.3.0 release. -- Tristan Cacqueray OpenStack Vulnerability Management Team
