Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Moderate: openstack-glance security and bug fix update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2014:1338-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-1338.html

Issue date: 2014-09-30

CVE Names: CVE-2014-5356

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

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated openstack-glance packages that fix one security issue and three

bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0

for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

 

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.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 for RHEL 6 - noarch

 

3. Description:

 

OpenStack Image service (glance) provides discovery, registration, and

delivery services for disk and server images. It provides the ability to

copy or snapshot a server image, and immediately store it away. Stored

images can be used as a template to get new servers up and running quickly

and more consistently than installing a server operating system and

individually configuring additional services.

 

It was discovered that the image_size_cap configuration option in glance

was not honored. An authenticated user could use this flaw to upload an

image to glance and consume all available storage space, resulting in a

denial of service. (CVE-2014-5356)

 

This update also fixes the following bugs:

 

* Whenever the 'x-image-meta-store' header was passed to glance-api, the

service would check whether the value was a valid store instead of a valid

scheme. However, the rest of the store library uses the scheme to identify

the store that should be used; this prevented the use of this feature.

Glance now verifies that the value of 'x-image-meta-store' is a valid

scheme instead of a valid store name. (BZ#1134249)

 

* With this update, Image Service (glance) is now dependent on oslo.vmware

in order to support the optional VMware store. This hard dependency was

created due to the likelihood that the dependencies are already installed

and due to the diminutive size of the package. As a result, the user

experience is improved by no longer requiring a manual oslo.vmware

install. (BZ#1125876)

 

* Previously, the process of upgrading from Red Hat Enterprise Linux

OpenStack Platform 4 to 5 may have failed. (BZ#1139243)

 

All openstack-glance users are advised to upgrade to these updated

packages, which correct these issues.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the

Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

 

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

1125876 - openstack-glance should depend on python-oslo-vmware

1131770 - CVE-2014-5356 openstack-glance: Glance store disk space exhaustion

1134249 - Glance `--store` checks on store name instead of scheme

1139243 - RHOS4->RHOS5 upgrade fails due to wrong version of python-migrate installed
