Ubuntu 12.04 LTS / 12.10 / 13.10 : maas vulnerabilities (USN-2105-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 72503

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

James Troup discovered that MAAS stored RabbitMQ authentication credentials in a world-readable file. A local authenticated user could read this password and potentially gain privileges of other user accounts. This update restricts the file permissions to prevent unintended access. (CVE-2013-1069)

Chris Glass discovered that the MAAS API was vulnerable to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing a specially crafted page, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain. (CVE-2013-1070).

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 maas-region-controller and / or python-django-maas packages.
