Synopsis

Description

Updated openshift packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 3.1.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat is the company's cloud computing Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments.

An access flaw was discovered in OpenShift; the /etc/origin/master/master-config.yaml configuration file, which could contain Active Directory credentials, was world-readable. A local user could exploit this flaw to obtain authentication credentials from the master-config.yaml file. (CVE-2016-2142)

If you believe that the password in this file has been viewed by an attacker you should reset the password after installing this update.

All installations with Active Directory integration are advised to upgrade to the updated software, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue.
