==========================================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2105-1
February 13, 2014

maas vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.10
- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

The cluster could be made to run programs as an administrator.

Software Description:
- maas: Ubuntu MAAS Server

Details:

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-2013-1070)

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-2013-1069)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 13.10:
  maas-region-controller          1.4+bzr1693+dfsg-0ubuntu2.3
  python-django-maas              1.4+bzr1693+dfsg-0ubuntu2.3

Ubuntu 12.10:
  maas-region-controller          1.2+bzr1373+dfsg-0ubuntu1.2
  python-django-maas              1.2+bzr1373+dfsg-0ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
  maas-region-controller          1.2+bzr1373+dfsg-0ubuntu1~12.04.5
  python-django-maas              1.2+bzr1373+dfsg-0ubuntu1~12.04.5

After a standard system update you need to restart apache2 to make all
the necessary changes.
