RHEL 6 : openstack-keystone (RHSA-2014:0113)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 210180

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2014:0113 advisory.

The openstack-keystone packages provide keystone, a Python implementation of the OpenStack Identity service API, which provides Identity, Token, Catalog, and Policy services.

A flaw was discovered in the way the LDAP backend in keystone handled the removal of a role. A user could unintentionally be granted a role if the role being removed had not been previously granted to that user. Note that only OpenStack Identity setups using an LDAP backend were affected.
(CVE-2013-4477)

All openstack-keystone users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.

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-keystone package based on the guidance in RHSA-2014:0113.
