[OSSA 2013-011] Keystone tokens not immediately invalidated when user is deleted (CVE-2013-2059)
by Thierry Carrez 09 May '13

09 May '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-011 CVE: CVE-2013-2059 Date: May 9, 2013 Title: Keystone tokens not immediately invalidated when user is deleted Reporter: Sam Stoelinga Products: Keystone Affects: All versions Description: Sam Stoelinga reported a vulnerability in Keystone. When users are deleted through Keystone v2 API, existing tokens for those users are not immediately invalidated and remain valid for the duration of the token's life (by default, up to 24 hours). This may result in users retaining access when the administrator of the system thought them disabled. You can workaround this issue by disabling a user before deleting it: in that case the tokens belonging to the disabled user are immediately invalidated. Keystone setups using the v3 API call to delete users are unaffected.

[OSSA 2013-010] Nova uses insecure keystone middleware tmpdir by default (CVE-2013-2030)
by Thierry Carrez 09 May '13

09 May '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-010 CVE: CVE-2013-2030 Date: May 9, 2013 Title: Nova uses insecure keystone middleware tmpdir by default Reporter: Grant Murphy (Red Hat), Anton Lundin Products: Nova Affects: Folsom, Grizzly Description: Grant Murphy from Red Hat and Anton Lundin both independently reported a vulnerability in Nova's default location for the Keystone middleware signing directory (signing_dir). By previously setting up a malicious directory structure, an attacker with local shell access on the Nova node could potentially issue forged tokens that would be accepted by the middleware. Only setups that use the default value for signing_dir are affected. Note that future versions of the Keystone middleware will issue a warning if an insecure signing directory is used.

OpenStack Grizzly documentation released 4/30/13
by Anne Gentle 06 May '13

06 May '13

Hi all, We have released a version of the OpenStack official documentation for grizzly and it is now available at http://docs.openstack.org/grizzly. We continue to update docs through our continuous publishing process so feedback is always welcome. Sorry for the delayed announcement. The release happened 4/30, less than a month after the code release. Contributor docs at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ are completed at the same time as the code release, but operator and deployer documentation takes a little more time to bake and test. If you have questions about how OpenStack documentation is maintained or would like to get involved, see http://wiki.openstack.org/Documentation/HowTo. We had nearly 80 contributors to the documentation for the Grizzly release. Thanks to everyone who helped create and maintain accurate information for OpenStack. Thanks, Anne --- Anne Gentle Rackspace Content Stacker

Introducing Murano: Bringing Windows Environments to OpenStack <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/introducing-murano-bringing-windows-environmen…> In response to growing demand for deploying and running Windows based applications on OpenStack cloud, the team at Mirantis started Murano <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Murano>: a native OpenStack component that enables fast provisioning and operation of Windows Environments on demand. Who Wrote OpenStack Grizzly Docs? <http://justwriteclick.com/2013/04/26/who-wrote-openstack-grizzly-docs/> Sneaking a peek at the numbers for documentation along with the code should show us pointers about docs keeping up with code. Anne Gentle <http://justwriteclick.com/> dives into the documentation with data and insights. “I” release cycle naming <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Release_Naming#.22I.22_release_cycle_naming> The next OpenStack summit will happen in Hong Kong. That creates a pretty challenging naming problem, since there is no word starting with “i’ in classic transliteration of Chinese words. So the Technical Committee is willing to bend the rules /a little/ to extend the range of candidates… Feel free to add suggestions to the list on the wiki. Stacker Voices: Monty Taylor, HP <http://engineering.cloudscaling.com/stacker-voices-monty-taylor-hp/> Cloudscaling Engineering <http://engineering.cloudscaling.com/> talked with Monty Taylor of HP (reaching rockstar status also with a wired.com <http://www.wired.com/> profile <http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/04/new-hackers-taylor/> this week) at the OpenStack Summit in Portland. Monty leads the CI (continuous innovation) project for OpenStack. In that role, he and his group have built testing systems that have made it possible for the OpenStack project to scale from a few dozen contributors for the Bexar release to more than 700 developers now pushing hundreds of patches daily to OpenStack.

Highlights of the week Introducing the OpenStack Activity Board <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/04/introducing-the-openstack-activity-bo…> I am pleased to announce that a beta release of the OpenStack Activity Board (beta) <http://activity.openstack.org/data/> is now live. The development Activity Board announced few months ago <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/09/providing-a-unified-view-of-openstack…> provides a visual overview of all the OpenStack public activity of community members across multiple dimensions: contributors and organizations, projects and tools. From a single interface, you can easily surf OpenStack project content, whether it is coming from the LaunchPad bug tracker, Git or Gerrit, all mapped against the OpenStack Foundation members database. Join the session at the Summit <http://openstacksummitapril2013.sched.org/event/ebbf37e343246e0b80bf99540a0…> to learn more and give feedback. The need for releases <http://fnords.wordpress.com/2013/04/11/the-need-for-releases/> The beginning of a new release cycle is as good as any moment to question why we actually go through the hassle of producing OpenStack releases. Twice per year <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Release_Cycle>, on a precise date we announce 6 months in advance, we bless and publish source code tarballs of the various integrated projects in OpenStack. Every week we have a meeting <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/ProjectMeeting> that tracks our progress toward this common goal. Read Thierry’s post if you want to know why. International Community Forum – Wednesday April 17 3.40pm in A105 <http://openstacksummitapril2013.sched.org/event/e45f299aad360fea432241f9b60…> If you are travelling to the OpenStack Summit from afar, we are holding an International Forum where we would like you to come along with your answer to the following question, “What’s an important, unique and interesting thing about OpenStack in my country”. The aim of the session is to share the answers so that we all might learn and gather new ideas for the improvement of the OpenStack community around the world!” It will be great to see just how many countries we can see represented in the one room, and a great opportunity for international networking. Understanding nova-conductor in OpenStack Nova <http://cloudystuffhappens.blogspot.com/2013/04/understanding-nova-conductor…> Nova conductor is a new service in Nova introduced in the Grizzly release. It as one of the top three changes in Nova in the Grizzly cycle, along with bare metal provisioning and cell. In this article, Yun Mao <http://cloudystuffhappens.blogspot.com/search/label/openstack> discusses its pros and cons to help you understand it better. OpenStack Networking, use of “Quantum” <http://markmail.org/message/w37tv4bgzxld7x4a> We have to phase out the trademark or attention getting use of the code name “Quantum” when referring to the the OpenStack Networking project, as part of a legal agreement with Quantum Corporation, the owner of the “Quantum” trademark. The Board of Directors and Technical Committee members involved in Networking related development and documentation were notified so we could start working to remove “Quantum” from public references. At the summit we have a session scheduled to talk about project names generally and the path forward for OpenStack Networking specifically. For instance, in places where there is a need for something shorter, such as the CLI, we could come up with a new code name or use something more descriptive like “os-network.” This is a question it probably makes sense to look at across projects at the same time. If you have input on this, please come participate in the session Thursday April 18 at 4:10pm: http://openstacksummitapril2013.sched.org/event/95df68f88b519a3e4981ed9da7c… Tips and Tricks * By Andreas Jaeger <http://jaegerandi.blogspot.com/search/label/OpenStack>: Chef and Crowbar for setting up OpenStack clouds – with openSUSE and SUSE Cloud <http://jaegerandi.blogspot.com/2013/04/chef-and-crowbar-for-setting-up.html> * By Mirantis <http://www.mirantis.com/>: Guest Post: Offloading CPU data traffic in OpenStack cloud with iSCSI over RDMA <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/offloading-cpu-data-traffic-in-openstack-cloud…> * By Xlcloud <http://xlcloud.org/bin/view/Blog/OpenStack>: Devstack with OpenStack Networking in a multi-node configuration <http://xlcloud.org/bin/view/Blog/Devstack+with+Quantum+in+a+multi-node+conf…> * By Sébastien Han <http://sebastien-han.fr/>: Openstack: quickly fix mirrored queues errors <http://sebastien-han.fr/blog/2013/04/09/openstack-quickly-fix-mirrored-queu…> * By Spilgames Engineering <http://engineering.spilgames.com/>: OpenStack with Open vSwitch and Networking (Folsom) on Scientific Linux <http://engineering.spilgames.com/openstack-with-open-vswitch-on-scientific-…> * By Michael Still <http://www.stillhq.com/>: Faster pip installs <http://www.stillhq.com/openstack/tips/000001.html> * By Yun Mao <http://cloudystuffhappens.blogspot.com/search/label/openstack>: How to run pylint with few false positives <http://cloudystuffhappens.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-run-pylint-with-few-f…> * By Kashyap Chamarthy <http://kashyapc.wordpress.com/>: Finding serial console log of a nova instance <http://kashyapc.wordpress.com/2013/04/06/finding-serial-console-log-of-a-no…> Upcoming Events * OpenStack Summit April 2013 <http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/> Apr 15 – 18, 2013 – Portland, OR Details <http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/> * Beers / Summit Debrief / Internally Promoting OpenStack <http://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-NjZdcegA/events/108730682/> Apr 24, 2013 – Chicago, IL Details <http://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-NjZdcegA/events/108730682/> * OpenStack meeting in Cologne <http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-DACH/events/108876542/> May 04, 2013 – Cologne, Germany Details <http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-DACH/events/108876542/> * OpenStack DACH Day <http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/3/prweb10526716.htm> May 24, 2013 – Berlin Fairgrounds Details <http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/3/prweb10526716.htm> * OpenStack Israel <http://www.meetup.com/IGTCloud/events/99146542/> May 27, 2013 – Tel-Aviv, Israel Details <http://www.openstack-israel.org/> * OpenStack CEE Day <http://www.openstack.org/> May 29, 2013 – Budapest Details <http://www.openstack.org/> * Building an OpenStack Cloud <http://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-NjZdcegA/events/108731562/> May 30, 2013 – Chicago, IL Details <http://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-NjZdcegA/events/108731562/> * OpenStack meeting in Munich <http://www.meetup.com/openstack-de/events/109700562/> Jun 11, 2013 – Munich, Germany Details <http://www.meetup.com/openstack-de/events/109700562/> * GigaOM Structure <http://event.gigaom.com/structure/> Jun 19 – 20, 2013 – San Francisco, CA Details <http://event.gigaom.com/structure/> * OSCON 2013 <http://www.oscon.com/oscon2013> Jul 22 – 26, 2013 – Portland, OR Details <http://www.oscon.com/oscon2013> Other News * OpenStack Board of Directors Talks: Episode 9 with Alan Clark, Chairman of the Board <http://rafstack.tumblr.com/post/47690655131> * OpenStack Board of Directors Talks: Episode 8 with Lew Tucker, VP/CTO Cloud Computing at Cisco Systems <http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/b/techcenter/archive/2013/04/10/ope…> * OpenStack Project Meeting: Summary <http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/project/2013/project.2013-04-09-21.…> and full logs <http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/project/2013/project.2013-04-09-21.…> Got answers?

by Alan Pevec 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Hi everybody, In the time since the Folsom release, we have been busy selectively back-porting bugfixes to the stable/folsom branch according to our "safe source of high-impact fixes" criteria documented here: http://wiki.openstack.org/StableBranch We're happy to announce the 2012.2.4 release, the latest in the series of stable releases. These releases are bugfix updates to Folsom and are intended to be relatively risk free with no intentional regressions or API changes. A total of 90 bugs have been fixed in this release. The list of bugs fixed can be seen here: https://launchpad.net/nova/folsom/2012.2.4 https://launchpad.net/glance/folsom/2012.2.4 https://launchpad.net/keystone/folsom/2012.2.4 https://launchpad.net/cinder/folsom/2012.2.4 https://launchpad.net/quantum/folsom/2012.2.4 https://launchpad.net/horizon/folsom/2012.2.4 Please read (and add to!) the release notes at: http://wiki.openstack.org/ReleaseNotes/2012.2.4 This release is the last planned stable release but stable/folsom branches will continue to be maintained by the openstack-folsom-maint team.

Highlights of the week OpenStack Grizzly <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/04/openstack-grizzly/> Done: OpenStack’s 7th release, called “Grizzly”, is out: thank you, the over 500 stackers who contributed and the many more who participated in the OpenStack Summit last October where this release was planned. This release, more than any before it, was driven by users who have been running OpenStack in production for the past year (or more) and have asked for broader support for the compute, storage, and networking technologies they trust and even greater scale and ease of operations. Mark Collier’s <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/04/openstack-grizzly/> post has a summary of the new features and a screencast of the updated OpenStack Dashboard. Building a Multi-Tier Application With OpenStack <http://blog.aaronorosen.com/building-a-multi-tier-application-with-openstac…> In his blog post Aaron Rosen <http://blog.aaronorosen.com/> shows how to build a simple multi-tier application on OpenStack, something that is made possible by the new features of OpenStack Grizzly: security groups and about Load-balancer-as-a-Service (LBaaS). Autoscale and Orchestration: the Heat of OpenStack <http://technicae.cogitat.io/2013/04/autoscale-and-orchestration-heat-of.html> Duncan McGreggor tells the story of how OpenStack orchestration service (codename Heat) is gaining new autoscaling features thanks to increased efforts by Rackspace. Following discussions at Pycon, Rackspace’s management decided to add two development teams to Heat and add some of the features that initially they were developing internally. Another good story of different companies collaborating inside the OpenStack Community. There will be no reliable cloud (part 1) <http://blog.hendrikvolkmer.de/2013/04/03/there-will-be-no-reliable-cloud-pa…> It’s the eternal debate about cloud and high availability, legacy enterprise applications and chaos monkeys. Hendrik Volkmer <http://blog.hendrikvolkmer.de/> shares his thoughts, summarised in “Stop wasting your time trying to find one”. His suggestion: With all that free time, start to build reliable systems on top of unreliable clouds. Grizzly, the day after <http://fnords.wordpress.com/2013/04/05/grizzly-the-day-after/> Thierry’s, our fine release manager, wrote his therapeutic post-release essay, balancing the excitement of the new release and the sadness of all the things that could have done better. Put on relaxing music, sit back on the chair and listen like any therapist would do. Tips and Tricks * By SwiftStack Team <http://swiftstack.com/>: Using CORS with Swift <http://swiftstack.com/blog/2013/04/02/using-cors-with-swift/> * By Michael Still <http://www.stillhq.com/>: Merged in Havana: configurable iptables drop actions in nova <http://www.stillhq.com/openstack/havana/000001.html> Upcoming Events * OpenStack Summit April 2013 <http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/> Apr 15 – 18, 2013 – Portland, OR Details <http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/> * Beers / Summit Debrief / Internally Promoting OpenStack <http://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-NjZdcegA/events/108730682/> Apr 24, 2013 – Chicago, IL Details <http://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-NjZdcegA/events/108730682/> * OpenStack meeting in Cologne <http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-DACH/events/108876542/> May 04, 2013 – Cologne, Germany Details <http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-DACH/events/108876542/> * OpenStack DACH Day <http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/3/prweb10526716.htm> May 24, 2013 – Berlin Fairgrounds Details <http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/3/prweb10526716.htm> * OpenStack Israel <http://www.meetup.com/IGTCloud/events/99146542/> May 27, 2013 – Tel-Aviv, Israel Details <http://www.meetup.com/IGTCloud/events/99146542/> * OpenStack CEE Day <http://www.openstack.org/> May 29, 2013 – Budapest Details <http://www.openstack.org/> * Building an OpenStack Cloud <http://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-NjZdcegA/events/108731562/> May 30, 2013 – Chicago, IL Details <http://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-NjZdcegA/events/108731562/> * OpenStack meeting in Munich <http://www.meetup.com/openstack-de/events/109700562/> Jun 11, 2013 – Munich, Germany Details <http://www.meetup.com/openstack-de/events/109700562/> * GigaOM Structure <http://event.gigaom.com/structure/> Jun 19 – 20, 2013 – San Francisco, CA Details <http://event.gigaom.com/structure/> * OSCON 2013 <http://www.oscon.com/oscon2013> Jul 22 – 26, 2013 – Portland, OR Details <http://www.oscon.com/oscon2013> Reports from past events * Vietnam OpenStack Meetup 3 <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/04/vietnam-openstack-meetup-3/> * DreamHost’s collection of presentations from PyCon 2013 <http://dreamhost.com/dreamscape/2013/04/02/on-stage-at-pycon-2013/> * 3rd Swiss OpenStack User Group Meetup <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/04/3rd-swiss-openstack-user-group-meetup/> * Interview with Cloudscaling’s Eric Windisch on the Simplicity Scales engineering blog <http://rafstack.tumblr.com/post/47179669042> Other News * Hear what’s new in OpenStack technology at OpenStack Israel May 27 <http://cloudifysource.tumblr.com/post/47011535593> * Announcing the Python3 Compatibility Team <http://engineering.cloudscaling.com/2013/04/announcing-python3-compat-team/> * Announcing: OpenStack Security Mailing List <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-April/007135.html> * New Reviewday location <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-April/007116.html>: http://status.openstack.org/reviews/ * OpenStack Project Meeting: Summary <http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/project/2013/project.2013-04-02-21.…> and full logs <http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/project/2013/project.2013-04-02-21.…> Got questions?

Highlights of the week Kwapi: an energy efficiency architecture <http://xlcloud.org/bin/view/Blog/Kwapi+an+energy+efficiency+architecture?la…> XLcloud HPC project focuses on providing high performance HPC services, while improving energy efficiency. Kwapi makes a smart use of data collected by Ceilometer interfaced with wattmeters in order to introduce power consumption statistics in OpenStack Nova scheduling strategies. Kwapi is stored on StackForge <https://github.com/stackforge/kwapi> and a blueprint is available here <http://www.xlcloud.org/bin/view/XLcloudProjectManagement/EEA>. Logging and debugging in OpenStack <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/logging-and-debugging-in-openstack/> The importance of debugging is much more noticeable on large projects like OpenStack, which require both developers and common users contribute and report when something is not going well. In #openstack-101 Victoria Martínez de la Cruz <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/> met many people wanting to start contributing to OpenStack, but a lot of them didn't know how to provide the right information to see where the problem was when they were facing a blocker. A must read for anybody starting (and a handy bookmark to provide to people stuck somewhere). Announcing Climate, the OpenStack capacity leasing project <http://julien.danjou.info/blog/2013/openstack-climate-capacity-leasing> A capacity leasing service is something really needed by service providers, especially in the context of cloud platforms dedicated to HPC style workload. Instead of building something really specific, the decision has been made to build a new standalone OpenStack components aiming to provide this kind of functionnality to OpenStack. In the spirit of others OpenStack components, it will be extensible to fullfil a large panel of needs around this problematic. Participate in the first OpenStack User Survey! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/03/participate-in-the-first-openstack-us…> If you are an OpenStack user or have customers with OpenStack deployments, please take 10 minutes to respond to our first User Survey or pass it along to your network. Our community has grown at an amazing rate in 2.5 years, and it's time to better define our user base and requirements, so we can respond and advocate accordingly. TAKE THE SURVEY <http://awe.sm/r0NkC> *The Cost Of Client Side Image Downloads On the CPU* <https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/2013/03/26/the-cost-of/> John Bresnahan <https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/> discusses the importance of managing the resource consumption of large file transfers. The NIC (and the network in general) is always thought of as a consumable resource involved in a data transfer. To a lesser extent the disk bandwidth is considered, and on occasion the system bus is as well. However, the effects on the CPU tend to be underestimated. John experimented a bit and charted his results.
