Detail
| Problem Description: Updated openstack-neutron packages that fix one security issue and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0. 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 4.0 - noarch 3. Description: OpenStack Networking (neutron) is a pluggable, scalable, and API-driven system that provisions networking services to virtual machines. Its main function is to manage connectivity to and from virtual machines. As of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0, 'neutron' replaces 'quantum' as the core component of OpenStack Networking. It was discovered that unprivileged users could in some cases reset admin-only network attributes to their default values. This could lead to unexpected behavior or in some cases result in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-6414) These updated packages also fix various bugs. Documentation for these bug fixes is available in the Technical Notes document linked to in the References section. All openstack-neutron 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/): 1090421 - neutron-agent-watch fails when deleting failed resource 1102910 - TTL never set on messages, causes messages to live forever 1113104 - Use simplejson instead of json to improve performance 1120146 - neutron-dhcp-agent and neutron-lbaas-agent fail to start 1128295 - Using soft or hard reboot can cause loss of network connectivity 1142012 - CVE-2014-6414 openstack-neutron: Admin-only network attributes may be reset to defaults by non-privileged users 1146091 - Rebase openstack-neutron to 2013.2.4 |
