debian lts
Calendar Grey May 31, 2026
Dist Debian Esm H88
Multiple critical flaws in Keystone for Debian, including privilege escalation and authorization issues. Upgrade recommended.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Keystone, the OpenStack identity service, including privilege escalation and authorization and access control flaws

Summary

CVE-2026-33551

An authenticated user with only a reader role may obtain an EC2/S3
credential that carries the full set of the parent user's S3
permissions, bypassing the role restrictions imposed on the
application credential. Only deployments that use restricted application
credentials in combination with the EC2/S3 compatibility API
(swift3/s3api) are affected. Reported by Maxence Bornecque, from
Orange Cyberdefense CERT Vulnerability Intelligence Watch Team.

CVE-2026-40683

LDAP identity backend does not convert enabled attribute to boolean. When
the user_enabled_invert configuration option was False (the default),
Keystone did not correctly interpret the LDAP enabled attribute, causing
users disabled in LDAP to be treated as enabled and allowed to
authenticate. Deployments using the LDAP identity backend without
user_enabled_invert=True or user_enabled_emulation are affected.
Independently reported by Benedikt Trefzer and Andrew Bogott.
