medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 432262

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - OpenStack Nova before 2012.1 allows someone with access to an EC2_ACCESS_KEY (equivalent to a username) to
 obtain the EC2_SECRET_KEY (equivalent to a password). Exposing the EC2_ACCESS_KEY via http or tools that
 allow man-in-the-middle over https could allow an attacker to easily obtain the EC2_SECRET_KEY. An
 attacker could also presumably brute force values for EC2_ACCESS_KEY. (CVE-2011-4076)
