[More...]. ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: openstack-neutron security, bug fix, and enhancement update Advisory ID: RHSA-2014:1785-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014:1785.html Issue date: 2014-11-03 CVE Names: CVE-2014-6414 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated openstack-neutron packages that fix one security issue, several bugs, and add multiple enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. 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 6 - noarch 3. Description: OpenStack Networking (neutron) is a pluggable, scalable, and API-driven system that provisions networking services to virtual machines. Its main function is to manage connectivity to and from virtual machines. As of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0, 'neutron' replaces 'quantum' as the core component of OpenStack Networking. It was discovered that unprivileged users could in some cases reset admin-only network attributes to their default values. This could lead to unexpected behavior or in some cases result in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-6414) The openstack-neutron packages have been upgraded to upstream version 2014.1.3, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.(BZ#1149753) All openstack-neutron users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues and add these enhancements. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 1142012 - CVE-2014-6414 openstack-neutron: Admin-only network attributes may be reset to defaults by non-privileged users1144329 - Remove dnsmasq version warning for dhcp-agent on RHEL 1149753 - Rebase openstack-neutron to 2014.1.3 1151524 - [RFE][neutron]: Config option to control visibility of cisco-policy-profile resources for tenants 1151531 - [RFE][neutron]: Ability to assign cisco nw profile to multi-tenants in single request 1159076 - l3-agent error : Executable not found: conntrack (filter match = conntrack) 6.
