[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)

============================================================ 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

Feature freeze + Kilo-3 development milestone available We just hit Feature Freeze, so please do not approve changes that add features or new configuration options unless those have been granted a feature freeze exception. This is also String Freeze, so you should avoid changing translatable strings. If you have to modify a translatable string, you should give a heads-up to the I18N team. Finally, this is also DepFreeze so you should avoid adding new dependencies (bumping oslo or openstack client libraries is OK until RC1). If you have a new dependency to add, raise a thread on openstack-dev about it. The kilo-3 development milestone was tagged, it contains more than 200 features and 825 bugfixes added since the kilo-2 milestone 6 weeks ago. More details on the full announcement. The joy of contributing to OpenStack Contributing to OpenStack doesn’t have to be painful. To ease these pain points, OpenStack developed free upstream training.. You can sign up for the next one by May 2. Another nice reading on the topic is Why your first OpenStack commit will always be the hardest, the interview with Susanne Balle, distinguished technologist with HP Cloud working on platform services. Leveraging OpenStackClient as your unified command line interface OpenStackClient v1.0.3 was released last week and this release includes a large number of feature requests and bug fixes. But the even more exciting news is that the OpenStack Technical Committee voted in favor to include OpenStackClient as part of it’s list of official projects! The newly integrated OpenStackClient project will include python-openstackclient, cliff and os-client-config. Handling High Email Volume with sup Over the last year, the openstack-dev mailing list has averaged 2500 messages every month. Staying on top of that much email can be challenging, especially with some of the consumer-grade email clients available today. Doug Hellmann recently upgraded his email setup to use sup, a terminal-based mail client. He says the switch helped him process the mailing list, and even keep up with gerrit at the same time. Sounds too good to be true to me. What do you think?

Feature freeze + Kilo-3 development milestone available
by Thierry Carrez 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

Hi everyone, We just hit feature freeze[1], so please do not approve changes that add features or new configuration options unless those have been granted a feature freeze exception. This is also string freeze[2], so you should avoid changing translatable strings. If you have to modify a translatable string, you should give a heads-up to the I18N team. Finally, this is also DepFreeze[3], so you should avoid adding new dependencies (bumping oslo or openstack client libraries is OK until RC1). If you have a new dependency to add, raise a thread on openstack-dev about it. The kilo-3 development milestone was tagged, it contains more than 200 features and 825 bugfixes added since the kilo-2 milestone 6 weeks ago (not even counting the Oslo libraries in the mix !). You can find the full list of new features and fixed bugs, as well as tarball downloads, at: https://launchpad.net/keystone/kilo/kilo-3 https://launchpad.net/glance/kilo/kilo-3 https://launchpad.net/nova/kilo/kilo-3 https://launchpad.net/horizon/kilo/kilo-3 https://launchpad.net/neutron/kilo/kilo-3 https://launchpad.net/cinder/kilo/kilo-3 https://launchpad.net/ceilometer/kilo/kilo-3 https://launchpad.net/heat/kilo/kilo-3 https://launchpad.net/trove/kilo/kilo-3 https://launchpad.net/sahara/kilo/kilo-3 https://launchpad.net/ironic/kilo/kilo-3 Congrats to all the PTLs and release management liaisons who made us reach this important milestone in the Kilo development cycle !
