Advisory ID:       RHSA-2016:2995-01
Product:           Red Hat Ceph Storage
Advisory URL:      https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-2995.html

CVE Names:         CVE-2016-9579 
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An update is now available for Red Hat Ceph Storage 1.3. This erratum is
for Red Hat Ceph Storage that runs on Ubuntu 14.04.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Description:

Red Hat Ceph Storage is a scalable, open, software-defined storage platform
that combines the most stable version of the Ceph storage system with a
Ceph management platform, deployment utilities, and support services.

Security Fix(es):

* A flaw was found in the way Ceph Object Gateway would process
cross-origin HTTP requests if the CORS policy was set to allow origin on a
bucket. A remote unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to cause
denial of service by sending a specially-crafted cross-origin HTTP request.
(CVE-2016-9579)

Bug Fix(es):

* Previously, the radosgw-all Upstart service depended on the ceph-all
service in order to trigger a start operation. In some cases, ceph-all was
not defined on Ceph Object Gateway nodes due to the packaging layout. As a
consequence, radosgw-all did not start on boot unless the ceph package was
also installed. With this update, radosgw-all has been modified to start
according to runlevel in addition to the ceph-all event trigger. As a
result, radosgw-all starts on boot also when the ceph package is not
installed on a node. (BZ#1406047)
