[Swift] Swift 2.1.0 released
by John Dickinson 01 Sep '14

01 Sep '14

I'm happy to announce that Swift 2.1.0 has been released. This release includes several useful features that I'd like to highlight. First, Swift's data placement algorithm was slightly changed to improve adding capacity. Specifically, now when you add a new region to an existing Swift cluster, there will not be a massive migration of data. If you've been wanting to expand your Swift cluster into another region, you can now do it painlessly. Second, we've updated some of the logging and metrics tracking. We removed some needless log spam (cleaner logs!), added the process PID to the storage node log lines, and no count user errors as errors in StatsD metrics reporting. We've also improved the object auditing process to allow for multiple processes at once. Using the new "concurrency" config value can speed up the overall auditor cycle time. The tempurl middleware default allowed methods has been updated to allow POST and DELETE. This means that with no additional configuration, users can create tempURLs against any supported verb. Finally, the list_endpoints middleware now has a v2 response that supports storage policies. Please take a look at the full changelog to see what else has changed. I'd encourage everyone to upgrade to this new version of Swift. As always, you can upgrade with no end-user downtime. Changelog: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/swift/tree/CHANGELOG Tarball: http://tarballs.openstack.org/swift/swift-2.1.0.tar.gz Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/swift/+milestone/2.1.0 This release is the result of 28 contributors, including 7 new contributors. The first-time contributors to Swift are: Jing Liuqing Steve Martinelli Matthew Oliver Pawel Palucki Thiago da Silva Nirmal Thacker Lin Yang Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release, both as a dev and as the sysadmins who keep Swift running every day at massive scale around the world. My vision for Swift is that everyone uses it every day, even if they don't realize it. We're well on our way to that goal. Thank you. --John

[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.

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2014-027 CVE: CVE-2014-3594 Date: August 19, 2014 Title: Persistent XSS in Horizon Host Aggregates interface Reporters: Dennis Felsch and Mario Heiderich (Ruhr-University Bochum) Products: Horizon Versions: up to 2013.2.3, and 2014.1 versions up to 2014.1.2 Description: Dennis Felsch and Mario Heiderich from the Horst Görtz Institute for IT-Security, Ruhr-University Bochum reported a persistent XSS in Horizon. 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.
