RHEL 7 : openshift (RHSA-2016:1038)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 119371

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for openshift.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2016:1038 advisory.

OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat is the company's cloud computing Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments.

An access flaw was discovered in OpenShift; the /etc/origin/master/master-config.yaml configuration file, which could contain Active Directory credentials, was world-readable. A local user could exploit this flaw to obtain authentication credentials from the master-config.yaml file. (CVE-2016-2142)

If you believe that the password in this file has been viewed by an attacker you should reset the password after installing this update.

All installations with Active Directory integration are advised to upgrade to the updated software, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue.

This update includes the following images:

openshift3/ose:v3.1.1.6-19 openshift3/ose-deployer:v3.1.1.6-18 openshift3/ose-docker-builder:v3.1.1.6-17 openshift3/ose-f5-router:v3.1.1.6-18 openshift3/ose-sti-builder:v3.1.1.6-17 openshift3/node:v3.1.1.6-18 aep3_beta/aep-deployer:v3.1.1.6-18 aep3_beta/aep-f5-router:v3.1.1.6-18 aep3_beta/aep:v3.1.1.6-19 aep3_beta/node:v3.1.1.6-18

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 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 RHEL openshift package based on the guidance in RHSA-2016:1038.
