quantum vulnerability
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 12.10
Summary:
OpenStack Quantum could be made to expose sensitive information over the
network.
Software Description:
- quantum: OpenStack Virtual Network Service
Details:
USN-2208-1 fixed vulnerabilities in OpenStack Cinder. This update provides
the corresponding updates for OpenStack Quantum.
Original advisory details:
JuanFra Rodriguez Cardoso discovered that OpenStack Cinder did not enforce
SSL connections when Nova was configured to use QPid and qpid_protocol is
set to 'ssl'. If a remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle
attack, this flaw could be exploited to view sensitive information. Ubuntu
does not use QPid with Nova by default.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 12.10:
python-quantum 2012.2.4-0ubuntu1.1
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
