Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: Foreman security update

Notes

Topic
Updated Foreman packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat OpenStack 3.0. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important 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
The Foreman packages provide facilities for rapidly deploying Red Hat OpenStack 3.0. These packages are provided as a Technology Preview. For more information on the scope and nature of support for items marked as Technology Preview, refer to https://access.redhat.com/support/offerings/techpreview/ A flaw was found in the API where insufficient privilege checks were conducted by the hosts controller, allowing any user with API access to control any host. (CVE-2013-4182) A denial of service flaw was found in Foreman in the way user input was converted to a symbol. An authenticated user could create inputs that would lead to excessive memory consumption. (CVE-2013-4180) Red Hat would like to thank Daniel Lobato of CERN IT-PES-PS for reporting CVE-2013-4182. The CVE-2013-4180 issue was discovered by Marek Hulán of the Red Hat Foreman team. Users of Foreman are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues. In Red Hat OpenStack, Foreman runs on the Apache HTTP Server using mod_passenger. As such, after installing the updated packages, the httpd service must be restarted ("service httpd restart") for this update to take effect.
