Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0020-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0020-01
Posted Jan 8, 2015
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0020-01 - Python-keystoneclient is a client library and a command line utility for interacting with the OpenStack Identity API. The OpenStack Identity auth_token middleware component handles the authentication of tokens with keystone. It was found that python-keystoneclient treated all settings in paste.ini files as string types. If the "insecure" option were set to any value in a paste.ini configuration file, it would be evaluated as true, resulting in TLS connections being vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.

3. Description:

Python-keystoneclient is a client library and a command line utility for
interacting with the OpenStack Identity API. The OpenStack Identity
auth_token middleware component handles the authentication of tokens
with keystone.

It was found that python-keystoneclient treated all settings in paste.ini
files as string types. If the "insecure" option were set to any value in a
paste.ini configuration file, it would be evaluated as true, resulting in
TLS connections being vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.
(CVE-2014-7144)

Note that when the "insecure" option was not set in paste.ini, it evaluated
to false, and verification was performed.

All python-keystoneclient users are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which correct this issue. After installing this update, all
OpenStack services using auth_token must be restarted for this update to
take effect.
