-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: openstack-packstack security and bug fix update Advisory ID: RHSA-2013:0671-01 Product: Red Hat OpenStack Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-0671.html Issue date: 2013-03-21 CVE Names: CVE-2013-1815 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: An updated openstack-packstack package that fixes one security issue and several bugs is now available for Red Hat OpenStack Folsom. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: OpenStack Folsom - noarch 3. Description: PackStack is a command line utility that uses Puppet modules to support rapid deployment of OpenStack on existing servers over an SSH connection. PackStack is suitable for deploying both single node proof of concept installations and more complex multi-node installations. It was found that PackStack did not handle the answer file securely. In some environments, such as those using a non-default umask, a local attacker could possibly modify the answer file if PackStack was run in an attacker controlled directory, or attempted to create the answer file in "/tmp/", allowing the attacker to modify systems being deployed using OpenStack. Note: After applying this update, PackStack will create the answer file in the user's home directory by default. It will no longer create it in the current working directory or the "/tmp/" directory by default. (CVE-2013-1815) The CVE-2013-1815 issue was discovered by Derek Higgins of the Red Hat OpenStack team. This update also fixes several bugs in the openstack-packstack package. All users of openstack-packstack are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which corrects these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258 5.
