[OSSA 2013-031] Ceilometer DB2/MongoDB backend password leak (CVE-2013-6384)
by Thierry Carrez 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-031 CVE: CVE-2013-6384 Date: November 25, 2013 Title: Ceilometer DB2/MongoDB backend password leak Reporter: Eric Brown (IBM) Products: Ceilometer Affects: All supported versions Description: Eric Brown from IBM reported an information leak in Ceilometer logs. The password for the DB2 or MongoDB backends was logged at INFO level in the ceilometer-api logs. An attacker with access to the logs (local shell, log aggregation system access, or accidental leak) may leverage this vulnerability to elevate privileges and gain direct full access to the Ceilometer backend. Only Ceilometer setups using the DB2 or MongoDB backends are affected.

[OSSA 2013-030] XenAPI security groups not kept through migrate or resize (CVE-2013-4497)
by Jeremy Stanley 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-030 CVE: CVE-2013-4497 Date: November 14, 2013 Title: XenAPI security groups not kept through migrate or resize Reporter: Chris Behrens (Rackspace) and Vangelis Tasoulas Products: Nova Affects: All supported versions prior to Havana Description: Chris Behrens with Rackspace and Vangelis Tasoulas reported a set of vulnerabilities in OpenStack Nova's XenAPI hypervisor backend. When migrating or resizing an instance, including live migration, existing security groups may not be reapplied after the operation completes. This can lead to unintentional network exposure for virtual machines. Only setups using the XenAPI backend are affected. The Havana release (2013.2) is not affected. Grizzly fixes (will be included in a future stable point release): https://review.openstack.org/52987 https://review.openstack.org/52991 References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-4497 https://launchpad.net/bugs/1073306 https://launchpad.net/bugs/1202266 -- Jeremy Stanley OpenStack Vulnerability Management Team

[OSSA 2013-029] Potential Nova denial of service through compressed disk images (CVE-2013-4463, CVE-2013-4469)
by Thierry Carrez 31 Oct '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-029 CVE: CVE-2013-4463, CVE-2013-4469 Date: October 31, 2013 Title: Potential Nova denial of service through compressed disk images Reporter: Bernhard M. Wiedemann (SUSE) & Pádraig Brady (Red Hat) Products: Nova Affects: All versions Description: Bernhard M. Wiedemann from SUSE reported a vulnerability in Nova's control of the size of disk images. By using malicious compressed qcow2 disk images, an authenticated user may consume large amounts of disk space for each image, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service attack on Nova compute nodes (CVE-2013-4463). While fixing this issue, Pádraig Brady from Red Hat additionally discovered that OSSA 2013-012 did not fully address CVE-2013-2096 in the non-default case where use_cow_images=False, and malicious qcow images are being transferred from Glance. In that specific case, an authenticated user could still consume large amounts of disk space for each instance using the malicious image, potentially also resulting in a Denial of Service attack on Nova compute nodes (CVE-2013-4469). The provided fixes address both issues.

[OSSA 2013-028] Unintentional role granting with Keystone LDAP backend (CVE-2013-4477)
by Thierry Carrez 30 Oct '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-028 CVE: CVE-2013-4477 Date: October 30, 2013 Title: Unintentional role granting with Keystone LDAP backend Reporter: The IBM OpenStack test team Products: Keystone Affects: All supported versions Description: The IBM OpenStack test team reported a vulnerability in role change code within the Keystone LDAP backend. When a role on a tenant is removed from a user, and that user doesn't have that role on the tenant, then the user may actually be granted the role on the tenant. A user could use social engineering and leverage that vulnerability to get extra roles granted, or may accidentally be granted extra roles. Only Keystone setups using a LDAP backend are affected.

Register Now For The Summit in Hong Kong <http://www.openstack.org/summit/hk?source=o12> ???? ???????????????? ???????, ???????? <http://www.openstack.org/summit/hkc?source=o12> Solum: Open Development From Day One <http://www.rackspace.com/blog/solum-open-development-from-day-one/> Solum is a project designed to make cloud services easier to consume and integrate into your application development process. Solum begins as a shared vision, not a complete product. It's a vision that a coalition of contributors believes in and wants to contribute to. For this to work, everything has to be designed and developed in the open from the very beginning. We're taking the OpenStack commitment to core values of open development, open design and open community right to heart. Kudos to Rackspace, eBay, RedHat, Ubuntu/Canonical, dotCloud/Docker, Cloudsoft and Cumulogic for spearheading this effort. An analysis of the Technical Committee election <http://fnords.wordpress.com/2013/10/23/an-analysis-of-the-technical-committ…> Thierry Carrez <http://fnords.wordpress.com/> played around with the ballots from the election of the Technical Committee. Since detailed ballot reporting was enabled in the past elections, it is possible to test alternative algorithms and run various analysis over the data set. As an official for this election, Thierry published his analysis of the results <http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/%7Eandru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_5ef3f04…>, hoping it will help in the current discussion on a potential evolution of the Foundation individual members voting system. OpenStack Havana -- the Quality Perspective <http://dague.net/2013/10/21/openstack-havana-the-quality-perspective/> With Havana out in the wild, Sean Dague <http://dague.net/> reviews the improvements made to the gating infrastructure during this release cycle. Beyond just increasing the number of tests we run, we made some changes in the nature of what we do in the gate. These changes are easy to overlook: Sean's post gives a perspective in everything that's going on behind the scenes when you try to land code in OpenStack.
