Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: openstack-heat-templates security update

Notes

Topic
An updated openstack-heat-templates package that fixes three security issues is now available Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Low security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.
Details
OpenStack Orchestration (heat) is a template-driven engine used to specify and deploy configurations for Compute, Storage, and OpenStack Networking. It can also be used to automate post-deployment actions, which in turn allows automated provisioning of infrastructure, services, and applications. Orchestration can also be integrated with Telemetry alarms to implement auto-scaling for certain infrastructure resources. The openstack-heat-templates package provides heat example templates and image building elements for the openstack-heat package. It was discovered that certain heat templates used HTTP to insecurely download packages and signing keys via Yum. An attacker could use this flaw to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks to prevent essential security updates from being installed on the system. (CVE-2014-0040) It was found that certain heat templates disabled SSL protection for various Yum repositories (sslverify=false). An attacker could use this flaw to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks to prevent essential security updates from being installed on the system. (CVE-2014-0041) It was discovered that certain heat templates disabled GPG signature checking of packages via Yum (gpgcheck=0). An attacker could use this flaw to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks to install arbitrary packages on the system. (CVE-2014-0042) These issues were discovered by Grant Murphy of the Red Hat Product Security Team. All openstack-heat-templates users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which corrects these issues.
