[OSSA 2013-027] Glance image_download policy not enforced for cached images (CVE-2013-4428)
by Thierry Carrez 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-027 CVE: CVE-2013-4428 Date: October 22, 2013 Title: Glance image_download policy not enforced for cached images Reporter: Stuart McLaren (HP) Products: Glance Affects: Grizzly, Folsom (and earlier versions) Description: Stuart McLaren from HP reported a vulnerability in Glance download_image policy enforcement in the case of cached images. Deployers may opt to set a download_image policy to restrict image download to specific roles. However, when an image is previously cached by an authorized download, any authenticated user could download image contents if it can determine the image UUID, bypassing any download_image policy restrictions. This could result in disclosure of image contents that were thought to be protected by the download_image policy setting. Only setups making use of the download_image policy are affected. The Havana release (2013.2) is not affected. Grizzly fix (included in 2013.1.4 recent release): https://review.openstack.org/#/c/50103/ Folsom fix: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/50860/ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-4428 https://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/1235378 Regards, - -- Thierry Carrez OpenStack Vulnerability Management Team -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJSZpnsAAoJEFB6+JAlsQQjOpMQAMFKO3bARjWRONmB+MjllfYj VMouesgWTzzuak2PlPHjdfdr0HEzCSUqvaVUKaW2V2+3CogEONs/Wtlrw75WBM0p FqqkFQjlymR/CuB3GtspqkrDGerH4+zOoNE1jzwBZnmvSqunvfKz1jGKEatvMfQh 8rx7oMleUcAv/1+xrk48h+hdqwsjorIgdBkvaUwG/XbssfmYwbXeRYLDyk2zuoI5 tD0YiINQe+fe52HgZfpS9fpENteeUdTd5V2tS+ZhWNUD0b8FzxHvuiaseTSyjlNX brTcFz1ryHJT3Ki3m/lGe3Xg/ZRuN0zl1XM1Y+EJ5BXVcJV6Ee6DxdoMYaDi5Leb QSXeLchkBQxgvxs+Qn8cXlhtYKH7FWtWjsCPKvAJ5XBmtSbyVeiRd24/89PWUMZM UfZ9mBV+AXTaWcN+HyN8xdytXST6wNgPr99IA9/Pcb1dvKLQY4KbdEqnxIGtlvSQ Hh+VtIPYWsDbinpoeensYYLqpAA/e0WTnwU4PfHi/es+ezk6ZCiHbwvHaGPaKvhL uSa/053iJby/bmYu5/vEfqgGrCUOB0sSBVTed1KlF8SmiMMwT7iYgLPUC36FN+io W5CgdbqG+mYKAFpDUBbWI5Ss75QH+SkTCs2kakyybEx2X+MQ89U+X2VFcYEuoiQ6 wJ/pLl8ktLUERbo4uguT =MZ6l -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

September 2013 PTL elections - Final results
by Anita Kuno 04 Oct '13

04 Oct '13

Thank you to the electorate, to all those who voted and to all candidates who put their name forward for PTL for this election. A healthy, open process breeds trust in our decision making capability - thank you to all those who make this process possible. Now for the results of the PTL election process, please join me in extending congratulations to the following PTLs: * Compute (Nova) o Russell Bryant * Object Storage (Swift) o John Dickinson * Image Service (Glance) o Mark Washenberger * Identity (Keystone) o Dolph Mathews * Dashboard (Horizon) o Gabriel Hurley * Networking (Neutron) o Mark McClain * Block Storage (Cinder) o John Griffith * Metering/Monitoring (Ceilometer) o Julien Danjou * Orchestration (Heat) o Steve Baker * Database Service (Trove) o Michael Basnight * Bare metal (Ironic) o Devananda van der Veen * Queue service (Marconi) o Kurt Griffiths * Common Libraries (Oslo) o Doug Hellmann * Infrastructure o James E. Blair * Documentation o Anne Gentle * Quality Assurance (QA) o Sean Dague * Deployment (TripleO) o Robert Collins * Devstack (DevStack) o Dean Troyer * Release cycle management o Thierry Carrez * Savanna o Sergey Lukjanov Election Results: Cinder: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_8f0141cdd… Heat: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_bf6cc46f0… Horizon: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_18f40a4ba… Please note that I include the Savanna PTL in this list though Savanna was not part of the original PTL announcement for this round [0], as the program became incubated during the election process [1]. I evaluated the documentation surrounding the Savanna PTL election process as I was requested to do, concluding that their electorate had knowingly elected their PTL to remain in position until the conclusion of the Icehouse release, should the program be incubated. Links to Savanna election process [2][3][4] [0] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-September/015369.ht… [1]http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/tc/2013/tc.2013-09-24-20.01.html [2] http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/savanna/2013/savanna.2013-08-15-18.… [3] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-August/013447.html [4] http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_cf7af88be… I have posted the announcement to the openstack-dev mailing list opening TC nominations. We are into the TC election process. Thierry and I will both be officiating the TC election. Thank you to all involved in the PTL election process, Anita Kuno. (anteaya)

OpenStack Icehouse Incubation Roundup <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/09/04#icehouse-incubation> The OpenStack Technical Committee met this week <http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/tc/2013/tc.2013-09-03-20.01.html> to consider the status of incubated projects for the upcoming Icehouse cycle. As a result, database provisioning (codename Trove)will be an official part of the Icehouse (2014.1) release, while message queues (Marconi) and bare-metal server provisioning (Ironic) will be in incubation with a view to becoming official in the as-yet-unnamed J (2014.2) release. MapReduce as a service <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/09/25#savanna-incubation> (Savanna) will also be incubated. How to Use Ask OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/09/how-to-use-ask-openstack/> We're continuously building together "The best place on the Internet to find answers to common OpenStack problems": our Question&Answers site Ask <https://ask.openstack.org/>OpenStack <https://ask.openstack.org/> is such place and needs everybody's help. Ask OpenStack is a collaborative effort, think of it like a wiki where pages are made only of questions and answers. Anybody with more than 100 karma points can fix a question or an answer and anybody can gain karma points by getting votes on answers and/or questions. Introducing the NNFI scheduler for Zuul <http://amo-probos.org/post/16> We recently made a change to Zuul's scheduling algorithm (how it determines which changes to combine together and run tests). Now when a change fails tests (or has a merge conflict), Zuul will move it out of the series of changes that it is stacking together to be tested, but it will still keep that change's position in the queue. Jobs for changes behind it will be restarted without the failed change in their proposed repo states. And if something later fails ahead of it, Zuul will once again put it back into the stream of changes it's testing and give it another chance.
