[OSSA 2013-020] Denial of Service in Nova network source security groups (CVE-2013-4185)
by Jeremy Stanley 06 Aug '13

06 Aug '13

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-020 CVE: CVE-2013-4185 Date: August 6, 2013 Title: Denial of Service in Nova network source security groups Reporter: Vishvananda Ishaya (Nebula) Products: Nova Affects: All versions Description: Vishvananda Ishaya from Nebula reported a denial of service vulnerability in Nova's handling of network source security group policy updates. By performing a large number of server creation operations, the proportion of updates increases quadratically and may overwhelm nova-network such that it is no longer able to service other requests in a timely fashion. Only setups relying on nova-network are affected. Havana (development branch) fix: https://review.openstack.org/39541 Grizzly fix: https://review.openstack.org/39543 Folsom fix: https://review.openstack.org/39544 Notes: This fix will be included in the havana-3 development milestone and in a future 2013.1.3 release.

[OSSA 2013-019] Resource limit circumvention in Nova private flavors (CVE-2013-2256)
by Jeremy Stanley 06 Aug '13

06 Aug '13

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-019 CVE: CVE-2013-2256 Date: August 6, 2013 Title: Resource limit circumvention in Nova private flavors Reporter: hzrandd (NetEase) Products: Nova Affects: All versions Description: hzrandd from NetEase reported a resource limit circumvention vulnerability in Nova's handling of private flavors. Any tenant is able to show and boot any other tenant's private flavors by guessing a flavor ID. This not only exposes the flavor's name, memory and disk size, swap allocation, VCPU count and similar flavor properties, but potentially allows circumvention of any resource limits enforced through the os-flavor-access:is_public property. Havana (development branch) fix: https://review.openstack.org/34963 Grizzly fix: https://review.openstack.org/37992 Folsom fix: https://review.openstack.org/38318 Notes: This fix is included in the havana-2 development milestone and will appear in a future 2013.1.3 release.

His latest post Twelve straw man positions to frame OpenStack “what is core” discussion <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/07/24/what-is-core-strawman/> moves to the ‘What’ is core from the /how / <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/07/23/introducing-the-openstack-spider-graph-…>and/why/ <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/07/22/making-openstack-meaningful/>. The twelve positions have been crafted over the course of several weeks and are constantly evolving. Next steps are to expand discussions to the OpenStack Community for input and review at the next Board Meeting on August 6th <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation#Proposed_2013_Board_M…>. Ultimately, we need to close this issue at the next Summit <http://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-hong-kong-2013/>. To the first OpenStack Documentation BootCamp <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/07/to-the-first-openstack-documentation-…> The OpenStack Docs Bootcamp offers a deep dive into the technical tools, workflows, and processes we use to create docs.openstack.org <http://docs.openstack.org/> and api.openstack.org <http://api.openstack.org/>.

OpenStack Hits a Triple with OpenStack on OpenStack <https://blog.hpcloud.com/openstack-hits-triple-openstack-openstack> On the 16th July the OpenStack Technical Committee voted <https://lists.launchpad.net/openstack/msg25222.html> to make OpenStack Deployment <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/TripleO> an official OpenStack Program <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Programs>. Our mission is to “Develop and maintain tooling and infrastructure able to deploy OpenStack in production, using OpenStack itself wherever possible.” For the latest code and documentation visit our incubator repository at https://github.com/openstack/tripleo-incubator. OpenStack Deployment (TripleO) was started by HP as part of our active contribution to OpenStack, in order to fill in core gaps in delivering OpenStack to users. Openstack General List Migration <http://markmail.org/message/66izocadk4f5jp2q> Update your filters: starting from now the OpenStack General list openstack(a)lists.launchpad.net <mailto:openstack@lists.launchpad.net> has become openstack(a)lists.openstack.org <mailto:openstack@lists.openstack.org>.

It derives its strength from the collective community. No matter when you joined or what role you play, you have the ability to shape the future of OpenStack and computing. In three short years since the community was established, OpenStack has truly become the center of cloud innovation, attracting hundreds of talented developers, brand-name users, and support from major industry leaders. This calls for a big toast to you, the OpenStack community! A Vision for Keystone <http://adam.younglogic.com/2013/07/a-vision-for-keystone/> As OpenStack evolves, its requirements for Identity Management evolve with it. In the early days, there was a single Nova server, and that stored user-id and password. Once OpenStack evolved into a body of servers, copying passwords around comprised too big a security risk. Keystone was first implemented as a central repository for those passwords. Adam Young <http://adam.younglogic.com/> writes in fine details what the plans are for the future of the OpenStack Identity Management service. Glance Registry Driver <http://blog.flaper87.org/post/51e47d110f06d35a218b0307/> A lot is going on on Glance lately, although you may have not noticed. The team has been working on several blueprints, and most of them aim to promote glance as a public service. Flavio Percoco <http://blog.flaper87.org/> has published an update of what’s cooking in OpenStack Image Service.
