1. Summary:

 

Updated openstack-cinder packages that fix one security issue and multiple

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

and 6.0.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security

impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which

3. Description:

 

OpenStack Block Storage (cinder) manages block storage mounting and the

presentation of such mounted block storage to instances. The backend

physical storage can consist of local disks, or Fiber Channel, iSCSI, and

NFS mounts attached to Compute nodes. In addition, Block Storage supports

volume backups, and snapshots for temporary save and restore operations.

Programatic management is available via Block Storage’s API.

 

A flaw was found in the cinder upload-to-image functionality. When

processing a malicious qcow2 header cinder could be tricked into reading

an arbitrary file from the cinder host. (CVE-2015-1851)

 

All users of openstack-cinder are advised to upgrade to these updated

packages, which correct these issues. After installing the updated

packages, the cinder running services will be restarted automatically.
