REDHAT-BUG-1439586: High severity keystone vulnerability

Published Apr 6, 2017
·
Updated

An authenticated user may receive all the roles assigned to the user's project regardless of the federation mapping when there are rules in which group-based assignments are not used. For example, by requesting an admin user to get a role in their project, the user may be granted the admin privileges for new scoped tokens. All setups using the Keystone federation with projects auto-provisioning and no group based assignments rules are affected.

Affected versions: 10.0.0, 10.0.1, 11.0.0
