Important security patch available for Red Hat OpenShift broker module addressing vulnerabilities in authentication protocols and remote entry weaknesses.
Updated openshift-origin-broker and rubygem-openshift-origin-auth-remote-user packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 2.0.5

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258

Summary

The openshift-origin-broker package provides the OpenShift Broker service that manages all user logins, DNS name resolution, application states, and general orchestration of the applications.
The rubygem-openshift-origin-auth-remote-user package provides the remote user authentication plug-in.
A flaw was found in the way openshift-origin-broker handled authentication requests via the remote user authentication plug-in. A remote attacker able to submit a request to openshift-origin-broker could set the X-Remote-User header, and send the request to a passthrough trigger, resulting in a bypass of the authentication checks to gain access to any OpenShift user account on the system. (CVE-2014-0188)
All users of Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 2.0.5 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the updated packages, restart the httpd daemon for this update to take effect.
