[OSSA 2014-036] Potential leak of passwords into log files (CVE-2014-7230, CVE-2014-7231)
by Tristan Cacqueray 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2014-036 CVE: CVE-2014-7230, CVE-2014-7231 Date: October 15, 2014 Title: Potential leak of passwords into log files Reporter: Amrith Kumar (Tesora) Products: Cinder and Nova (versions up to 2014.1.3) Trove (versions up to 2014.1.2) Description: Amrith Kumar from Tesora reported two vulnerabilities in the processutils.execute() and strutils.mask_password() functions available from oslo-incubator that are copied into each project's code. An attacker with read access to the services' logs may obtain passwords used as a parameter of a command that has failed (CVE-2014-7230) or when mask_password did not mask passwords properly (CVE-2014-7231). All Cinder, Nova and Trove setups are affected. Kilo (development branch) fixes: https://review.openstack.org/116927 (Cinder) https://review.openstack.org/126052 (Cinder ssh_execute) https://review.openstack.org/116982 (Nova) https://review.openstack.org/126047 (Nova ssh_execute) https://review.openstack.org/121417 (Trove) Juno (proposed branch) fixes: https://review.openstack.org/126594 (Nova ssh_execute) https://review.openstack.org/126592 (Cinder ssh_execute) Icehouse fixes: https://review.openstack.org/121382 (Cinder) https://review.openstack.org/126665 (Cinder ssh_execute) https://review.openstack.org/121096 (Nova) https://review.openstack.org/126699 (Nova ssh_execute) https://review.openstack.org/121416 (Trove) Notes: The former patch did not cover the ssh_execute method used in Nova and Cinder, thus two more patches are required for these projects. Nova and Cinder fixes are included in the 2014.2rc2 release candidate and will appear in a future 2014.1.4 release. Trove fix was included in the 2014.2rc1 release candidate and 2014.1.3 release.

[OSSA 2014-035] Nova VMware driver may connect VNC to another tenant's console (CVE-2014-8750)
by Jeremy Stanley 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2014-035 CVE: CVE-2014-8750 Date: October 14, 2014 Title: Nova VMware driver may connect VNC to another tenant's console Reporter: Marcio Roberto Starke Products: Nova Versions: up to 2014.1.3 Description: Marcio Roberto Starke reported a vulnerability in the Nova VMware driver. A race condition in its VNC port allocation may cause it to connect the wrong console if instances are created concurrently. By repeatedly spawning new instances, an authenticated user may be able to gain unauthorized console access to instances belonging to other tenants. Only Nova setups using the VMware driver and the VNC proxy service are affected. Juno (development branch) fix: https://review.openstack.org/114548 Icehouse fix: https://review.openstack.org/126425 Notes: This fix was included in the 2014.2rc1 release candidate and will appear in a future 2014.1.4 stable point release.

[OSSA 2014-034] Swift metadata constraints are not correctly enforced (CVE-2014-7960)
by Thierry Carrez 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2014-034 CVE: CVE-2014-7960 Date: October 09, 2014 Title: Swift metadata constraints are not correctly enforced Reporter: Rajaneesh Singh Products: Swift Versions: up to 2.1.0 Description: Rajaneesh Singh reported a vulnerability in the way Swift enforces metadata constraints. By adding metadata in several separate calls, an authenticated attacker can bypass the max_meta_count constraint, potentially resulting in the storage of more metadata than allowed in configuration. Juno (development branch) fix: https://review.openstack.org/125360 Icehouse fix: https://review.openstack.org/126645 Notes: This fix will be included in the upcoming 2.2.0 Juno release.

[OSSA 2014-033] Cinder-volume host data leak to vm instance (CVE-2014-3641)
by Tristan Cacqueray 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2014-033 CVE: CVE-2014-3641 Date: October 02, 2014 Title: Cinder-volume host data leak to vm instance Reporter: Duncan Thomas (HP) Products: Cinder Versions: up to 2014.1.2 Description: Duncan Thomas from Hewlett Packard reported a vulnerability in Cinder GlusterFS and Linux Smbfs drivers. By overwriting a volume from within an instance with a malicious qcow2 header, an authenticated user may be able to clone and attach that corrupted volume resulting in affected drivers leaking an arbitrary file from the Cinder-volume host to the virtual instance. Note that the host file must be readable by the Cinder context to be exposed. Only Cinder setups using GlusterFS volume driver configured with glusterfs_qcow2_volumes=False (which is the default) or Cinder setups using Smbfs volume driver configured with smbfs_default_volume_format=raw (which is not the default) are affected. Juno (development branch) fix: https://review.openstack.org/125671 Icehouse fix: https://review.openstack.org/125710 Notes: This fix will be included in the Juno release 2014.2 and in the upcoming 2014.1.3 release.

[OSSA 2014-032] Nova VMware driver still leaks rescued images (CVE-2014-3608)
by Tristan Cacqueray 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2014-032 CVE: CVE-2014-3608 Date: October 2, 2014 Title: Nova VMware driver still leaks rescued images Reporter: Garth Mollett (Red Hat) Products: Nova Versions: up to 2014.1.2 Description: Garth Mollett from Red Hat reported an incomplete fix to OSSA-2014-017 (CVE-2014-2573), a vulnerability affecting Nova. If an authenticated user places an instance into rescue, and then issues a suspend command it will cause the instance to enter an ERROR state. Nova does not clean up an instance in this state correctly upon deletion. An attacker can use this to launch a denial of service attack. Only setups using the Nova VMware driver are affected by this flaw. Juno (development branch) fix: https://review.openstack.org/94281/ Icehouse fix: https://review.openstack.org/109624/ Notes: This fix will be included in the Juno release 2014.2.0 and in the upcoming 2014.1.3 release.
