Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 for RHEL 6 - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 for RHEL 7 - noarch 3. Description: OpenStack Object Storage (swift) provides object storage in virtual containers, which allows users to store and retrieve files (arbitrary data). The service's distributed architecture supports horizontal scaling; redundancy as failure-proofing is provided through software-based data replication. Because Object Storage supports asynchronous eventual consistency replication, it is well suited to multiple data-center deployment. A flaw was found in OpenStack Object Storage that could allow an authenticated user to delete the most recent version of a versioned object regardless of ownership. To exploit this flaw, an attacker must know the name of the objectand have listing access to the x-versions-location container. (CVE-2015-1856) Red Hat would like to thank the OpenStack project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Clay Gerrard of SwiftStack as the original reporter. All users of openstack-swift are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue. After installing this update, the OpenStack Object Storage services will be restarted automatically. 4.
