Since this was originally opened as Public there wasn't much point in
switching it to Private Security once all the nova bug subscribers were
notified of it, so I've set it back to Public.

At this point, what consensus there is seems to be that this is an issue
which should be corrected in documentation and/or a concern with
memcached rather than any OpenStack software. It probably falls into
either report class B2 (A vulnerability without a complete fix yet,
security note for all versions, e.g., poor architecture / design) or C2
(A vulnerability, but not in OpenStack supported code, e.g., in a
dependency) in our taxonomy, and so should not need an advisory:

** Information type changed from Private Security to Public

** Description changed:

- This issue is being treated as a potential security risk under embargo.
- Please do not make any public mention of embargoed (private) security
- vulnerabilities before their coordinated publication by the OpenStack
- Vulnerability Management Team in the form of an official OpenStack
- Security Advisory. This includes discussion of the bug or associated
- fixes in public forums such as mailing lists, code review systems and
- bug trackers. Please also avoid private disclosure to other individuals
- not already approved for access to this information, and provide this
- same reminder to those who are made aware of the issue prior to
- publication. All discussion should remain confined to this private bug
- report, and any proposed fixes should be added to the bug as
- attachments.
- 
  After the user logs in to the openstack node, the data stored in
  memcached can be obtained with the command "memcached-tool 172.28.8.6:
  11211 dump", and no authentication is required.

** Changed in: ossa
       Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix
