RHEL 7 : openstack-aodh (RHSA-2017:3227)

high Nessus Plugin ID 194047

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for openstack-aodh.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2017:3227 advisory.

openstack-aodh provides the ability to trigger actions based on defined rules against metric or event data collected by OpenStack Telemetry (ceilometer) or Time-Series-Database-as-a-Service (gnocchi).

Security Fix(es):

* A verification flaw was found in openstack-aodh. As part of an HTTP alarm action, a user could pass in a trust ID. However, the trust could be from anyone because it was not verified. Because the trust was then used by openstack-aodh to obtain a keystone token for the alarm action, a malicious user could pass in another person's trust ID and obtain a keystone token containing the delegated authority of that user.
(CVE-2017-12440)

This issue was discovered by Luke Hinds (Red Hat). Upstream acknowledges Zane Bitter (Red Hat) as the original reporter.

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 openstack-aodh package based on the guidance in RHSA-2017:3227.
