The v1 API in OpenStack Glance Essex (2012.1), Folsom (2012.2), and Grizzly, when using the single-tenant Swift or S3 store, reports the location field, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain the operator's backend credentials via a request for a cached image.

OpenStack Compute (Nova) Grizzly, Folsom (2012.2), and Essex (2012.1) does not properly implement a quota for fixed IPs, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion and failure to spawn new instances) via a large number of calls to the addFixedIp function.

Russel Bryant rbryant reports on behalf of the OpenStack Project:

Title: Boot from volume allows access to random volumes Reporter: Phil Day (HP) Products: Nova Affects: Essex, Folsom

Description: Phil Day from HP reported a vulnerability in volume attachment in nova-volume, affecting the boot-from-volume feature. By passing a specific volume ID, an authenticated user may be able to boot from a volume he doesn't own, potentially resulting in full access to that 3rd-party volume contents. Folsom setups making use of Cinder are not affected.

Proposed patches: See attached patches for the Folsom and Essex series. Unless a flaw is discovered in them, these proposed patches will be merged to Nova stable/folsom and stable/essex branches on the public disclosure date.

OpenStack Keystone, as used in OpenStack Folsom before folsom-rc1 and OpenStack Essex (2012.1), allows remote attackers to add an arbitrary user to an arbitrary tenant via a request to update the user's default tenant to the administrative API. NOTE: this identifier was originally incorrectly assigned to an open redirect issue, but the correct identifier for that issue is CVE-2012-3540.
