OpenStack Havana End of Upstream Support Lifetime
by Jeremy Stanley 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

This is intended to serve as a reminder that The OpenStack Havana 2013.2.4 integrated point release[1] last Tuesday, September 23, marks the end of stable support for OpenStack Havana. All open changes for stable/havana branches of official projects have been marked abandoned, upstream testing for these has ceased, and the tips of these branches have been tagged "havana-eol" in preparation for branch deletion. The list of affected Git repositories is as follows: openstack-dev/devstack openstack-dev/grenade openstack/ceilometer openstack/cinder openstack/designate openstack/glance openstack/heat openstack/horizon openstack/keystone openstack/neutron openstack/nova openstack/openstack-manuals openstack/oslo-incubator openstack/oslo.config openstack/requirements openstack/swift openstack/tempest openstack/trove [1] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-announce/2014-September/0002… -- Jeremy Stanley

[OSSA 2014-031] Admin-only network attributes may be reset to defaults by non-privileged users (CVE-2014-6414)
by Grant Murphy 29 Sep '14

29 Sep '14

OpenStack Security Advisory: OSSA-2014-031 CVE: CVE-2014-6414 Date: September 29, 2014 Title: Admin-only network attributes may be reset to defaults by non-privileged users Reporter: Elena Ezhova (Mirantis) Products: Neutron Versions: up to 2013.2.4 and 2014.1 versions up to 2014.1.2 Description: Elena Ezhova from Mirantis reported a vulnerability in Neutron. By updating a network attribute with a default value a non-privileged user may reset admin-only network attributes. This may lead to unexpected behavior with security implications for operators with a custom policy.json, or in some extreme cases network outages resulting in denial of service. All deployments using neutron networking are affected by this flaw. Juno (development branch) fix: https://review.openstack.org/114531 Icehouse fix: https://review.openstack.org/123849 Notes: This fix will be included in the Juno release 2014.2.0 and in future 2014.1.3 release.

How is your OpenStack team organized? <http://maffulli.net/2014/09/25/how-is-your-openstack-team-organized/> I’ve been collecting a lot of good insights talking to directors and managers about how their companies are organized to contribute to OpenStack. For geographic reasons I have mostly gathered comments from people between San Francisco and Silicon Valley and I’d like to expand the research. Fill in this brief survey <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15vX9pGlvBVftq4YlD6vE0rOMKq9e3U25Qh_9gJ6Ky_…> or contact Stefano Maffulli directly via email (replying to this message).

[OSSA 2014-030] TLS cert verification option not honoured in paste configs (CVE-2014-7144)
by Grant Murphy 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2014-030 CVE: CVE-2014-7144 Date: September 25, 2014 Title: TLS cert verification option not honoured in paste configs Reporter: Qin Zhao (IBM) Products: keystonemiddleware, python-keystoneclient Versions: versions up to 1.1.1 (keystonemiddleware), versions up to 0.10.1 (python-keystoneclient) Description: Qin Zhao from IBM reported a vulnerability in keystonemiddleware (formerly shipped as python-keystoneclient). When the 'insecure' option is set in a paste configuration file it is effectively ignored, regardless of its value. As a result certificate verification will be disabled, leaving TLS connections open to MITM attacks. All versions of keystonemiddleware with TLS settings configured via a paste.ini file are affected by this flaw. keystonemiddleware fix: https://review.openstack.org/113191 python-keystoneclient fix: https://review.openstack.org/112232 Notes: These fixes are included in the keystonemiddleware 1.2.0 release and in the python-keystoneclient 0.11.0 release.
