Synopsis:          Moderate: openstack-nova secuity and bug fix advisory
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2015:2684-01
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform
Advisory URL:      https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015:2684.html
Issue date:        2015-12-21
CVE Names:         CVE-2015-7713 
====================================================================
1. Summary:

Updated OpenStack Compute packages that resolve one security issue
and a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack
Platform 5.0 for RHEL 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate 
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base 
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the 
CVE link in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 for RHEL 7 - noarch

3. Description:

OpenStack Compute (nova) launches and schedules large networks of 
virtual machines, creating a redundant and scalable cloud computing 
platform. Compute provides the software, control panels, and APIs 
required to orchestrate a cloud, including running virtual machine 
instances and controlling access through users and projects.

A vulnerability was discovered in the way OpenStack Compute (nova)
networking handled security group updates; changes were not applied to
already running VM instances. A remote attacker could use this flaw to
access running VM instances. (CVE-2015-7713)

Additional bug fixes include:

* In some cases, Compute did not start instances when RHEL was 
installed with a locale other than en_US. The update ensures that 
logging an exception no longer causes Unicode issues. (BZ#1190837)

All openstack-nova users are advised to upgrade to these updated 
packages, which correct these issues and add these enhancements.

4. Solution:

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

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5 runs on Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 7.2.

  interact to form a working cloud computing environment.
* Technology Previews, Recommended Practices, and Known Issues.
