Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for redhat-access-plugin-openstack.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2015:0645 advisory.

The Red Hat Support plug-in for Red Hat OpenStack is a Technology Preview feature which offers seamless integrated access to Red Hat subscription services from the Red Hat OpenStack administration portal. The plug-in provides automated functionality that enables quicker help, answers, and proactive services. It offers easy and instant access to Red Hat exclusive knowledge, resources, engagement, and diagnostic features.

It was found that the local log-viewing function of the redhat-access-plugin for OpenStack Dashboard (horizon) did not sanitize user input. An authenticated user could use this flaw to read an arbitrary file with the permissions of the web server. (CVE-2015-0271)

Red Hat would like to thank Sara Perez Merino of SensePost for reporting this issue.

All redhat-access-plugin-openstack users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains 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 redhat-access-plugin-openstack package based on the guidance in RHSA-2015:0645.
