OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) before 2.4.0 allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via a PUT tempurl and a DLO object manifest that references an object in another container.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2015:1895 advisory.

    OpenStack Object Storage (swift) provides object storage in virtual     containers, which allows users to store and retrieve files (arbitrary     data). The service's distributed architecture supports horizontal scaling;
    redundancy as failure-proofing is provided through software-based data     replication. Because Object Storage supports asynchronous eventual     consistency replication, it is well suited to deployment in multiple     data centers.

    A flaw was found in the OpenStack Object storage service (swift)     tempurls. An attacker in possession of a tempurl key with PUT permissions     may be able to gain read access to other objects in the same project.
    (CVE-2015-5223)

    Red Hat would like to thank the OpenStack project for reporting this     issue. Upstream acknowledges Richard Hawkins of Rackspace, and the     OpenStack Swift core reviewers as the original reporters.

    All users of openstack-swift are advised to upgrade to these updated     packages, which correct this issue. After installing this update, the     OpenStack Object Storage services will be restarted automatically.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3451-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that OpenStack Swift incorrectly handled tempurls. A remote authenticated user in     possession of a tempurl key authorized for PUT could retrieve other objects in the same Swift account.
    (CVE-2015-5223)

    Romain Le Disez and rjan Persson discovered that OpenStack Swift incorrectly closed client connections.
    A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2016-0737, CVE-2016-0738)

Updated openstack-swift packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.1 update 2 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate 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.

A memory-leak issue was found in OpenStack Object Storage (swift), in the proxy-to-server connection. An OpenStack-authenticated attacker could remotely trigger this flaw to cause denial of service through excess memory consumption. (CVE-2016-0738)
