RHEL 6 : openstack-swift (RHSA-2013:1197)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 210149

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2013:1197 advisory.

OpenStack Swift (http://swift.openstack.org) is a highly available, distributed, eventually consistent object/blob store.

A denial of service flaw in OpenStack Swift allowed attackers to fill the object server with object tombstones. This could lead to subsequent requests from legitimate users taking an excessive amount of time.
(CVE-2013-4155)

This issue was discovered by Peter Portante of Red Hat.

All users of openstack-swift are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue. After installing this update, the OpenStack Swift 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 this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL openstack-swift package based on the guidance in RHSA-2013:1197.
