Detail

Problem Description:

Updated OpenStack Telemetry packages that fix one security issue and one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important 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 4.0 - noarch

3. Description:

OpenStack Telemetry (ceilometer) collects customer usage data for metering purposes. Telemetry implements bus listener, push, and polling agents for data collection; this data is stored in a database and presented via the REST API. In addition, Telemetry's extensible design means it can be optionally extended to gather customized data sets.

It was found that authentication tokens were not properly sanitized from the message queue by the notifier middleware. An attacker with read access to the message queue could possibly use this flaw to intercept an authentication token and gain elevated privileges. Note that all services using the notifier middleware configured after the auth_token middleware pipeline were affected. (CVE-2014-4615)

This update also fixes the following bug:

* An incompatibility issue was found with the recent update of the python-qpid package. This caused several OpenStack services, including OpenStack Telemetry, to malfunction. By updating the RPC code, this issue is now resolved. (BZ#1116462)

All OpenStack Telemetry 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/):
