Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0368-01 - The OpenStack Identity service authenticates and authorizes OpenStack users by keeping track of users and their permitted activities. The Identity service supports multiple forms of authentication including user name and password credentials, token-based systems, and AWS-style logins. It was found that the ec2token API in keystone, which is used to generate EC2-style credentials, could generate a token not scoped to a particular trust when creating a token from a received trust-scoped token. A remote attacker could use this flaw to retrieve a token that elevated their privileges to all of the trustor's roles. Note that only OpenStack Identity setups that have EC2-style authentication enabled were affected.
