Description

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

 - An issue was discovered in middleware.py in OpenStack Swauth through 1.2.0 when used with OpenStack Swift
 through 2.15.1. The Swift object store and proxy server are saving (unhashed) tokens retrieved from the
 Swauth middleware authentication mechanism to a log file as part of a GET URI. This allows attackers to
 bypass authentication by inserting a token into an X-Auth-Token header of a new request. NOTE:
 github.com/openstack/swauth URLs do not mean that Swauth is maintained by an official OpenStack project
 team. (CVE-2017-16613)
