Old stable/grizzly branches removed as of March 30, 2014
by Jeremy Stanley 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Based on discussion[1] at the Icehouse Summit in Hong Kong, official support for stable/grizzly branches of OpenStack projects reached end of life and was frozen on March 6, 2014 (coincident with the icehouse-3 milestone). We kept these branches around for the scheduled 2013.1.5 stable point release[2] on March 20, 2014, and then tagged them "grizzly-eol" and deleted them from official Git repositories on March 30, 2014. At that time, all related provisions within our testing infrastructure for these branches were removed in preparation for upcoming stable/icehouse branch testing. My apologies for the delayed notice on the branch deletion, in case anyone was caught off guard by it.

[OSSA 2014-009] Nova host data leak to vm instance in rescue mode (CVE-2014-0134)
by Tristan Cacqueray 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2014-009 CVE: CVE-2014-0134 Date: March 27, 2014 Title: Nova host data leak to vm instance in rescue mode. Reporter: Stanislaw Pitucha (HP) Products: Nova Versions: 2013.2 versions up to 2013.2.2 Description: Stanislaw Pitucha from Hewlett Packard reported a vulnerability in the Nova instance rescue mode. By overwriting the disk inside an instance with a malicious image and switching the instance to rescue mode, an authenticated user would be able to leak an arbitrary file from the compute host to the virtual instance. Note that the host file must be readable by the libvirt/kvm context to be exposed. Only setups using libvirt to spawn instance, and having "use_cow_images = False" in Nova configuration are affected. Icehouse (development branch) fix: https://review.openstack.org/82840 Havana fix: https://review.openstack.org/82841 Notes: This fix will be included in the icehouse-rc1 development milestone and in a future 2013.2.3 release.

[OSSA 2014-008] Routers can be cross plugged by other tenants (CVE-2014-0056)
by Grant Murphy 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2014-008 CVE: CVE-2014-0056 Date: March 27, 2014 Title: Routers can be cross plugged by other tenants Reporter: Aaron Rosen (VMWare) Products: Neutron Affects: 2012.2 versions up to 2013.2.2 Description: Aaron Rosen from VMWare reported a vulnerability where Neutron fails to perform proper authorization checks when creating ports. By choosing a device id of a router from a different tenant when creating a port, an authenticated user can access the network of other tenants. This affects deployments of Neutron using plugins relying on the l3-agent. Icehouse (development branch) fix: https://review.openstack.org/83391 Havana fix: https://review.openstack.org/83393 Notes: One should perform and audit of the ports that are already attached to routers after applying this patch and remove ports that a tenant may have cross plugged.

[OSSA 2014-007] Potential context confusion in Keystone middleware (CVE-2014-0105)
by Tristan Cacqueray 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2014-007 CVE: CVE-2014-0105 Date: March 27, 2014 Title: Potential context confusion in Keystone middleware Reporter: Kieran Spear (University of Melbourne) Products: python-keystoneclient Versions: All versions up to 0.6.0 Description: Kieran Spear from the University of Melbourne reported a vulnerability in Keystone auth_token middleware (shipped in python-keystoneclient). By doing repeated requests, with sufficient load on the target system, an authenticated user may in certain situations assume another authenticated user's complete identity and multi-tenant authorizations, potentially resulting in a privilege escalation. Note that it is related to a bad interaction between eventlet and python-memcached that should be avoided if the calling process already monkey-patches "thread" to use eventlet. Only keystone middleware setups using auth_token with memcache are vulnerable. python-keystoneclient fix (included in 0.7.0 release): https://review.openstack.org/81078 References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0105 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1282865 -- Tristan Cacqueray OpenStack Vulnerability Management Team
