Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for openstack-cinder.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2013:1198 advisory.

The openstack-cinder packages provide OpenStack Volume (Cinder), which provides services to manage and access block storage volumes for use by virtual machine instances.

It was found that the fixes for CVE-2013-1664 and CVE-2013-1665, released via RHSA-2013:0658, did not fully correct the issues in the Extensible Markup Language (XML) parser used by Cinder. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a specially-crafted request to a Cinder API, causing Cinder to consume an excessive amount of CPU and memory, or possibly crash.
(CVE-2013-4202)

A bug in the Cinder LVM driver prevented LVM snapshots from being securely deleted in some cases, potentially leading to information disclosure to other tenants. (CVE-2013-4183)

The CVE-2013-4202 issue was discovered by Grant Murphy of the Red Hat Product Security Team.

Additionally, openstack-cinder has been rebased to the latest Grizzly stable release 2013.1.3. (BZ#993094)

All users of openstack-cinder are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues. After installing the updated packages, the Cinder running services will be restarted automatically.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the RHEL openstack-cinder package based on the guidance in RHSA-2013:1198.
