Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: python-keystoneclient security update

Notes

Topic
Updated python-keystoneclient packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0. Red Hat Product Security 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.
Details
Python-keystoneclient is a client library and a command line utility for interacting with the OpenStack Identity API. The OpenStack Identity auth_token middleware component handles the authentication of tokens with keystone. It was found that python-keystoneclient treated all settings in paste.ini files as string types. If the "insecure" option were set to any value in a paste.ini configuration file, it would be evaluated as true, resulting in TLS connections being vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. (CVE-2014-7144) Note that when the "insecure" option was not set in paste.ini, it evaluated to false, and verification was performed. All python-keystoneclient users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue. After installing this update, all OpenStack services using auth_token must be restarted for this update to take effect.
