python-keystoneclient vulnerability
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.04

Summary:

The python client library for Keystone did not properly verify expired PKI
tokens.

Software Description:

Details:

Eoghan Glynn and Alex Meade discovered that python-keystoneclient did not
properly perform expiry checks for the PKI tokens used in Keystone. If
Keystone were setup to use PKI tokens (the default in Ubuntu 13.04), a
previously authenticated user could continue to use a PKI token for longer
than intended.

  python-keystoneclient           1:0.2.3-0ubuntu2.2
