3. Description:

 

OpenStack Orchestration (heat) is a template-driven engine used to specify

and deploy configurations for Compute, Storage, and OpenStack Networking.

The service can be used to automate post-deployment actions, which in turn

allows automated provisioning of infrastructure, services, and

applications. Additionally, Orchestration can be integrated with Telemetry

alarms to implement auto-scaling for certain infrastructure resources.

 

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version:

openstack-heat (7.0.2). (BZ#1431258)

 

Security Fix(es):

 

* An access-control flaw was found in the OpenStack Orchestration (heat)

service where a service log directory was improperly made world readable. A

malicious system user could exploit this flaw to access sensitive

information. (CVE-2017-2621)

 

Red Hat would like to thank Hans Feldt (Ericsson) for reporting this issue.
