=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

OpenStack Keystone did not properly handle user role changes

Software Description:
- keystone: OpenStack identity service

Details:

Dolph Mathews discovered that when roles are granted and revoked to
users in Keystone, pre-existing tokens were not updated or invalidated
to take the new roles into account. An attacker could use this to
continue to access resources that have been revoked.

package versions:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
