low Nessus Plugin ID 70582

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

Stuart McLaren discovered that Glance did not properly enforce the 'download_image' policy for cached images. An authenticated user could exploit this to obtain sensitive information in an image protected by this setting.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected python-glance package.
