[Openstack-security] [Bug 1470740] Re: swiftclient disclose token in debug logs

As a general rule projects should try to mask/redact potentially
sensitive information even for DEBUG-level logging, but there are still
so many instances of this throughout OpenStack that we rely on
recommendations like the red warning box you see at
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/horizon/topics/deployment.html#logging
to make sure deployers know that setting production service logging to
DEBUG or sharing their logs of the same is potentially dangerous. If
there is no general OSSN yet with similar recommendations, I agree it's
a great addition.

So yes I expect this is a bug, and should be fixed to improve the
overall security posture of our software, but fixing it won't elicit a
security advisory from the vulnerability management team and may not get
backported to older releases unless it can be done very, very cleanly to
avoid adverse operational impact.

Bug description:
  Setup: juno. Nova, glance + swiftclient.

  glance-api.conf (important parts):

  [DEFAULT]
  debug = true
  logging_context_format_string=%(name)s[%(process)d]: %(levelname)s %(instance)s%(message)s [%(request_id)s %(user)s %(tenant)s]
  logging_default_format_string=%(name)s[%(process)d]: %(levelname)s %(instance)s%(message)s
  logging_debug_format_suffix=%(funcName)s %(pathname)s:%(lineno)d
  logging_exception_prefix=%(name)s[%(process)d]: TRACE %(instance)s
  default_store = swift
  use_syslog = True
  syslog_log_facility = LOG_LOCAL2
  swift_store_auth_address = https://my.hand.disclosing.corporte.url:5000/v2.0
  swift_store_user = tenant:user
  swift_store_key = sexgodqwerty123456love

  Result in remote syslog:

  DEBUG REQ: curl -i
  https://my.hand.disclosing.corporte.url:8080/v1/OMG_47e02d5a461148ef9f9dab62ea0ba64b/region/6a66d8dc-5748-4cb5-9db5-b12ab0d1c698-00007
  -X PUT -H "X-Auth-Token: 6f64276e2074726461650a6d" http_log
  /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/swiftclient/client.py:95

  Versions:

  ii  python-swift                        2.2.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0                                all          distributed virtual object store - Python libraries

  ii  glance-api                          1:2014.2.3-0-ownbuild  all          OpenStack Image Registry and Delivery Service - API
  ii  glance-common                       1:2014.2.3-ownbuild  all          OpenStack Image Registry and Delivery Service - Common

  ii  python-glance-store                 0.1.8-1ubuntu2~cloud0                                all          OpenStack Image Service store library - Python 2.x
  ii  python-glanceclient                 1:0.14.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0                             all          Client library for Openstack glance server.

  Impact:
  1) Unprivileged employee with access to logging facility may get access to glance images, including snapshots of the tenants.
  2) Syslog transmitted unencrypted in UDP or TCP and it may be viewed by unauthorized person.

  Expected behavior:
  Complete or partial token masking in logs, f.e.:

  DEBUG REQ: curl -i
  https://my.hand.disclosing.corporte.url:8080/v1/OMG_47e02d5a461148ef9f9dab62ea0ba64b/region/6a66d8dc-5748-4cb5-9db5-b12ab0d1c698-00007
  -X PUT -H "X-Auth-Token: 6****************d" http_log
  /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/swiftclient/client.py:95
