security advisorysecurity issuebug fixRed Hat Enterprise OpenStack 4.0 Security Advisory RHSA-2014:1691-01 Alert
Updated openstack-packstack packages that fix one security issue, several bugs, and add two enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0. [More...]. ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Important: openstack-packstack security, bug fix, and enhancement update Advisory ID: RHSA-2014:1691-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014:1691.html Issue date: 2014-10-22 CVE Names: CVE-2014-3703 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated openstack-packstack packages that fix one security issue, several bugs, and add two enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important 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 4.0 - noarch 3. Description: PackStack is a command-line utility that uses Puppet modules to support rapid deployment of OpenStack on existing servers over an SSH connection. PackStack is suitable for deploying both single node proof-of-concept installations and more complex multi-node installations. It was discovered that the nova.conf configuration generated by PackStack did not correctly set the libvirt_vif_driver configuration option if the Open vSwitch (OVS) monolithic plug-in was not used. This could result in deployments defaulting to having the firewall disabled unless the nova configuration was manually modified after PackStack was started. (CVE-2014-3703) This issue was discovered by Yair Fried of Red Hat. This update also fixes the following bug: * This update fixes a dependency issue between theopenstack-cinder-api and openstack-cinder-backup services. The openstack-cinder-backup service is now guaranteed to be started during PackStack installation. (BZ#1075609) In addition, this update adds the following enhancements: * This update enables mysqld performance improvement if users add the following configuration options to the /etc/my.cnf file: innodb_buffer_pool_size = (10-20% of available memory) innodb_flush_method = O_DIRECT innodb_file_per_table These improvements are expected to be the default settings in the next release. (BZ#1078999) * With this update, PackStack now consistently performs the installation of the sos, sos-plugins-openstack, and rhos-collector packages on all hosts. (BZ#1131619) All openstack-packstack 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.

Summary: An updated openstack-packstack package that fixes two security issues and several bugs is now available for Red Hat OpenStack Folsom. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: OpenStack Folsom - noarch 3. Description: PackStack is a command line utility that uses Puppet modules to support rapid deployment of OpenStack on existing servers over an SSH connection. PackStack is suitable for deploying both single node proof of concept installations and more complex multi-node installations. A flaw was found in PackStack. During manifest creation, the manifest file was written to /tmp/ with a predictable file name. A local attacker could use this flaw to perform a symbolic link attack, overwriting an arbitrary file accessible to the user running PackStack with the contents of the manifest, which could lead to a denial of service. Additionally, the attacker could read and potentially modify the manifest being generated, allowing them to modify systems being deployed using OpenStack. (CVE-2013-0261) It was discovered that the cinder.conf and allapi-paste.ini configuration files were created with world-readable permissions. A local attacker could use this flaw to view administrative passwords, allowing them to control systems deployed and managed by OpenStack. (CVE-2013-0266) The CVE-2013-0261 issue was discovered by Kurt Seifried of the Red Hat Security Response Team, and CVE-2013-0266 was discovered by Derek Higgins of the Red Hat OpenStack team. This update also fixes several bugs in the openstack-packstack package. All users of openstack-packstack are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which corrects these issues. 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.
