Ubuntu 16.04 LTS : OpenStack Keystone vulnerability (USN-3448-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 103811

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3448-1 advisory.

 Boris Bobrov discovered that OpenStack Keystone incorrectly handled federation mapping when there are rules in which group-based assignments are not used. A remote authenticated user may receive all the roles assigned to a project regardless of the federation mapping, contrary to expectations.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected keystone and / or python-keystone packages.
