Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM Spectrum Scale Object Protocols functionality is affected by security vulnerabilities in OpenStack that could allow:
- a man-in-the-middle attack, caused by an error in the api-paste.ini configuration file. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially-crafted handshake to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks to decrypt and modify traffic (CVE-2015-1852)
- a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an error when using the PKI or PKIZ token providers. By manipulating the token contents of a revoked token, the revocation check will improperly consider the token as valid. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a revoked token to gain unauthorized access to cloud resources (CVE-2015-7546)
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2015-1852
DESCRIPTION: OpenStack keystonemiddleware and python-keystoneclient is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack, caused by an error in the api-paste.ini configuration file. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially-crafted handshake to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks to decrypt and modify traffic.
