The processutils.execute function in OpenStack oslo-incubator, Cinder, Nova, and Trove before 2013.2.4 and 2014.1 before 2014.1.3 allows local users to obtain passwords from commands that cause a ProcessExecutionError by reading the log.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The processutils.execute function in OpenStack oslo-incubator, Cinder, Nova, and Trove before 2013.2.4 and     2014.1 before 2014.1.3 allows local users to obtain passwords from commands that cause a     ProcessExecutionError by reading the log. (CVE-2014-7230)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2014:1939 advisory.

    OpenStack Database (trove) is Database as a Service for Openstack. It runs     entirely on OpenStack, with the goal of allowing users to quickly and     easily utilize the features of a database without the burden of handling     complex administrative tasks. Cloud users and database administrators can     provision and manage multiple database instances as needed.

    It was found that the processutils.execute() and strutils.mask_password()     functions did not correctly sanitize the authentication details from their     output before storing them in log files. This could allow an attacker with     read access to these log files to obtain sensitive information such as     passwords. (CVE-2014-7230, CVE-2014-7231)

    The openstack-trove packages have been upgraded to upstream version     2014.1.3, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the     previous version. (BZ#1149745)

    All openstack-trove users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,     which correct these issues and add these enhancements.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2014:1787 advisory.

    OpenStack Block Storage (cinder) manages block storage mounting and the     presentation of such mounted block storage to instances. The backend     physical storage can consist of local disks, or Fiber Channel, iSCSI, and     NFS mounts attached to Compute nodes. In addition, Block Storage supports     volume backups, and snapshots for temporary save and restore operations.
    Programatic management is available via Block Storages API.

    A flaw was found in the GlusterFS and Linux smbfs drivers for OpenStack     Block Storage. A remote attacker could use this flaw to disclose an     arbitrary file from the cinder-volume host to a virtual instance by cloning     and attaching a volume with a malicious qcow2 header. (CVE-2014-3641)

    Red Hat would like to thank the OpenStack project for reporting this issue.
    Upstream acknowledges Duncan Thomas from Hewlett Packard as the original     reporter.

    The openstack-cinder packages have been upgraded to upstream version     2014.1.3, which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version.
    (BZ#1149750)

    All users of openstack-cinder are advised to upgrade to these updated     packages, which correct these issues. After installing the updated     packages, the cinder running services will be restarted automatically.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2407-1 advisory.

    Garth Mollett discovered that OpenStack Nova did not properly clean up an instance when using rescue mode     with the VMWare driver. A remove authenticated user could exploit this to bypass intended quota limits. By     default, Ubuntu does not use the VMWare driver. (CVE-2014-3608)

    Amrith Kumar discovered that OpenStack Nova did not properly sanitize log message contents. Under certain     circumstances, a local attacker with read access to Nova log files could obtain access to sensitive     information. (CVE-2014-7230)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2405-1 advisory.

    Duncan Thomas discovered that OpenStack Cinder did not properly track the file format when using the     GlusterFS of Smbfs drivers. A remote authenticated user could exploit this to potentially obtain file     contents from the compute host. (CVE-2014-3641)

    Amrith Kumar discovered that OpenStack Cinder did not properly sanitize log message contents. Under     certain circumstances, a local attacker with read access to Cinder log files could obtain access to     sensitive information. (CVE-2014-7230)
