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

Advisory ID: RHSA-2015:0644-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-0644.html

Issue date: 2015-03-05

CVE Names: CVE-2014-9623

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

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated openstack-glance 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 Low 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 6.0 for RHEL 7 - 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.

 

A storage quota bypass flaw was found in OpenStack Image (glance). If an

image was deleted while it was being uploaded, it would not count towards a

user's quota. A malicious user could use this flaw to deliberately fill the

backing store, and cause a denial of service. (CVE-2014-9623)

 

Red Hat would like to thank the OpenStack project for reporting this issue.

Upstream acknowledges Tushar Patil of NTT as the original reporter.

 

The openstack-glance packages have been upgraded to upstream version

2014.2.2, which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version.

(BZ#1188390)

 

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

packages, which correct these issues.
