Synopsis: Important: Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform Installer update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2015:0791-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-0791.html

Issue date: 2015-04-07

CVE Names: CVE-2015-1842

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform Installer packages that

fix one security issue and several bugs are now available for Red Hat

Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 6.0.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important 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 6 Installer for RHEL 7 - noarch

 

3. Description:

 

Red Hat Enterprise OpenStack Platform Installer is a deployment management

tool. It provides a web user interface for managing the installation and

configuration of remote systems. Deployment of changes is performed using

Puppet. Additionally, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain

Name System (DNS), Preboot Execution Environment (PXE), and Trivial File

Transfer Protocol (TFTP) services can be provided. Controlling these

services also enables provisioning of physical systems that do not yet have

an operating system installed.

 

It was discovered that the puppet manifests, as provided with the

openstack-puppet-modules package, would configure the pcsd daemon with a

known default password. If this password was not changed and an attacker

was able to gain access to pcsd, they could potentially run shell commands

as root. (CVE-2015-1842)

 

Note: This flaw only affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform

installations deployed using the HA feature set.

 

For additional information on addressing this flaw see:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/1396123

 

This issue was discovered by Alessandro Vozza of Red Hat.

 

In addition to the above issue, this update also addresses multiple bugs

which are documented in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform

Technical Notes, linked to in the References section.

 

All Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform Installer users are advised

to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues.

 

4. Solution:
