[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.

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.
