23 May '13

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-013 CVE: CVE-2013-2013 Date: May 23, 2013 Title: Keystone client local information disclosure Reporter: Jake Dahn (Nebula) Products: python-keystoneclient Affects: All versions Description: Jake Dahn from Nebula reported a vulnerability that the keystone client only allows passwords to be updated in a clear text command-line argument, which may enable other local users to obtain sensitive information by listing the process and potentially leaves a record of the password within the shell command history. Fix: https://review.openstack.org/28702 Notes: A fix has already been merged to the python-keystoneclient master branch on 2013-05-21 (commit f2e0818) which adds an interactive password prompt, and will appear in the next release of python-keystoneclient.

OpenStack Compute (Nova) Roadmap for Havana <http://russellbryantnet.wordpress.com/2013/05/13/openstack-compute-nova-roa…> The Havana design summit was held mid-April. Since then the Nova team has been documenting the Havana roadmap and going full speed ahead on development of these features. The list of features that developers have committed to completing for the Havana release is tracked using blueprints on Launchpad <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/havana>. At the time of writing, there are 74 blueprints listed that cover a wide range of development efforts. Russell Bryant <http://russellbryantnet.wordpress.com/>, Nova Tech Lead, highlights some of them. Stacker Voices: Thierry Carrez, OpenStack Foundation <http://engineering.cloudscaling.com/stacker-voices-thierry-carrez-openstack…> Thierry Carrez handles release management for the OpenStack Foundation and is chair of the project's Technical Committee. Thierry was involved with the earliest incarnations of OpenStack while at Rackspace. Cloudscaling's team caught up with him at the OpenStack Summit in Portland to get Thierry's insights into the release cycle, governance and his wish list for the project. Swiftsync -- A way to synchronize two swift clusters <http://www.enovance.com/fr/blog/5653/swiftsync-a-way-to-synchronize-two-swi…> Enovance was asked to migrate and synchronize two swift clusters in order to provide a customer a way to handle a swift migration easily.

[OSSA 2013-012] Nova fails to verify image virtual size (CVE-2013-2096)
by Michael Still 16 May '13

16 May '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-012 CVE: CVE-2013-2096 Date: May 16, 2013 Title: Nova fails to verify image virtual size Reporter: Loganathan Parthipan Products: Nova Affects: All versions Description: Loganathan Parthipan publicly reported a vulnerability in Nova. Nova did not implement checking for the virtual size of a qcow2 image used as ephemeral storage for instances. It is therefore possible for a user to create an image which has a large virtual size, but little data. Once the instance is created, the user can then proceed to fill the virtual disk, and consume all available disk on the host node file system.

[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. Watch the video on YouTube <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqw4zxqPelc>. A little tracing hack <http://markmail.org/message/kjv4kry67732nawb> Timothy Daly at Yahoo! added metrics and tracing for OpenStack and released tomograph <https://github.com/timjr/tomograph>: a tool to see what and how OpenStack is doing behind the curtains. Contribute to OpenStack Activity Board <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/05/contribute-to-openstack-activity-boar…> We’ve released the complete documentation <http://activity.openstack.org/data/display/WIKIDS/Home> for OpenStack Insights <http://activity.openstack.org/data/>, with binaries and source code downloadable from Sourceforge <https://sourceforge.net/projects/wikidsopenstack> while the OpenStack Dash <http://activity.openstack.org/dash/> tools are the vanilla MetricsGrimoire <http://metricsgrimoire.github.io/> set hosted on github <https://github.com/MetricsGrimoire>. The code is free as in freedom so you’re welcome to play with it. How to run pylint with few false positives <http://cloudystuffhappens.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-run-pylint-with-few-f…> Testing your python code can get complex and with pylint, you /will /see false positives, meaning it will complain some lines as bugs that are actually correct. lintstack is designed to address this problem: *reduce false positives from pylint as much as possible without sacrificing accuracy*.
