3. Description:

 

OpenStack Bare Metal (ironic) is a tool used to provision bare metal

(as opposed to virtual) machines. It leverages common technologies such

as PXE boot and IPMI to cover a wide range of hardware. It also supports

pluggable drivers to allow added, vendor-specific functionality.

 

It was discovered that enabling debug mode in openstack-ironic-discoverd

also enabled debug mode in the underlying Flask framework. If errors were

encountered while Flask was in debug mode, a user experiencing an error

might be able to access the debug console (effectively, a command shell).

(CVE-2015-5306)
