Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0832-01
Posted Apr 17, 2015
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0832-01 - PackStack is a command-line utility for deploying OpenStack on existing servers over an SSH connection. Deployment options are provided either interactively, using the command line, or non-interactively by means of a text file containing a set of preconfigured values for OpenStack parameters. PackStack is suitable for deploying proof-of-concept installations. It was discovered that the puppet manifests, as provided with the openstack-puppet-modules package, would configure the pcsd daemon with a known default password. If this password was not changed and an attacker was able to gain access to pcsd, they could potentially run shell commands as root.
