3. Description:

 

PackStack is a command-line utility for deploying OpenStack on existing

servers over an SSH connection. Deployment options are provided either

interactively, using the command line, or non-interactively by means of a

text file containing a set of preconfigured values for OpenStack

parameters. PackStack is suitable for deploying proof-of-concept

installations.

 

It was discovered that the puppet manifests, as provided with the

openstack-puppet-modules package, would configure the pcsd daemon with a

known default password. If this password was not changed and an attacker

was able to gain access to pcsd, they could potentially run shell commands

as root. (CVE-2015-1842)

 

This issue was discovered by Alessandro Vozza of Red Hat.

 

This update also adds the following enhancement:

 

* If OpenStack Networking (neutron) is enabled, Packstack now displays a

warning if the Network Manager service is active on hosts. (BZ#1117115)

 

All openstack-packstack and openstack-puppet-modules users are advised to

upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues and add

this enhancement.
