Summary: Updated openstack-ironic-discoverd packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 6.0. 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 6.0 for RHEL 7 - noarch 3. Description: OpenStack Bare Metal (ironic) is a tool used to provision bare metal (as opposed to virtual) machines. It leverages common technologies such as PXE boot and IPMI to cover a wide range of hardware. It also supports pluggable drivers to allow added, vendor-specific functionality. It was discovered that enabling debug mode in openstack-ironic-discoverd also enabled debug mode in the underlying Flask framework. If errors were encountered while Flask was in debug mode, a user experiencing an error might be able to access the debug console (effectively, a command shell). (CVE-2015-5306) Please note that this package is a Technology Preview and should not be used in production. Allopenstack-ironic-discoverd users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2006-1614 Damian Put discovered an integer overflow in the PE header parser. This is only exploitable if the ArchiveMaxFileSize option is disabled. CVE-2006-1615 Format string vulnerabilities in the logging code have been discovered, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2006-1630 David Luyer discovered, that ClamAV can be tricked into an invalid memory access in the cli_bitset_set() function, which may lead to a denial of service. The old stable distribution (woody) doesn't contain clamav packages. For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 0.84-2.sarge.8. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 0.88.1-1. We recommend that you upgrade your clamav package.
