OpenStack Ironic Inspector (aka ironic-inspector or ironic-discoverd), when debug mode is enabled, might allow remote attackers to access the Flask console and execute arbitrary Python code by triggering an error.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2015:1929 advisory.

    Ironic provides bare metal provisioning for OpenStack nodes.

    It was discovered that enabling debug mode in openstack-ironic-discoverd     also enables debug mode in the underlying Flask framework. If errors are     encountered while Flask is in debug mode, a user experiencing an error may     be able to access the debug console (effectively, a command shell).
    (CVE-2015-5306)

    All openstack-ironic-discoverd users are advised to upgrade to these     updated packages, which correct this issue.

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