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-2014:1787 advisory.OpenStack Block Storage (cinder) manages block storage mounting and the presentation of such mounted block storage to instances. The backend physical storage can consist of local disks, or Fiber Channel, iSCSI, and NFS mounts attached to Compute nodes. In addition, Block Storage supports volume backups, and snapshots for temporary save and restore operations.
Programatic management is available via Block Storages API.
A flaw was found in the GlusterFS and Linux smbfs drivers for OpenStack Block Storage. A remote attacker could use this flaw to disclose an arbitrary file from the cinder-volume host to a virtual instance by cloning and attaching a volume with a malicious qcow2 header. (CVE-2014-3641)
Red Hat would like to thank the OpenStack project for reporting this issue.
Upstream acknowledges Duncan Thomas from Hewlett Packard as the original reporter.
The openstack-cinder packages have been upgraded to upstream version 2014.1.3, which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version.
(BZ#1149750)
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-2014:1787.See Also
