Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1784-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1784-01
Posted Nov 3, 2014
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1784-01 - Python-keystoneclient is a client library and a command line utility for interacting with the OpenStack Identity API. 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. Note that when the "insecure" option was not set in paste.ini, it evaluated to false, and verification was performed.

3. Description:

Python-keystoneclient is a client library and a command line utility for

It was found that Python-keystoneclient treated all settings in paste.ini

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

This update also fixes the following bugs:

* Previously, when running Python-keystoneclient in the DEBUG log level,
sensitive data may have been logged in plain text. Refer to the OSSN-0024
document, linked to in the References, for further information.

* Previously, when attempting to enable the use of the s3_token middleware,
for use with the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) APIs, a "No
module named webob" error was returned. (BZ#1133431)

All python-keystoneclient users are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which correct these issues.
