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

  - An issue was discovered in OpenStack Keystone before 15.0.1, and 16.0.0. The list of roles provided for an
    OAuth1 access token is silently ignored. Thus, when an access token is used to request a keystone token,
    the keystone token contains every role assignment the creator had for the project. This results in the
    provided keystone token having more role assignments than the creator intended, possibly giving unintended
    escalated access. (CVE-2020-12690)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:3102 advisory.

    The OpenStack Identity service (keystone) authenticates and authorizes     OpenStack users by keeping track of users and their permitted activities.
    The Identity service supports multiple forms of authentication, including     user name and password credentials, token-based systems, and AWS-style     logins.

    Security Fix(es):

    * EC2 and credential endpoints are not protected from a scoped context     (CVE-2020-12689)

    * OAuth1 request token authorize silently ignores roles parameter     (CVE-2020-12690)

    * Credentials endpoint policy logic allows changing credential owner and     target project ID (CVE-2020-12691)

    * failure to check signature TTL of the EC2 credential auth method     (CVE-2020-12692)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS     score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE     page listed in the References section.

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

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

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4480-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that OpenStack Keystone incorrectly handled EC2 credentials. An authenticated attacker     with a limited scope could possibly create EC2 credentials with escalated permissions. (CVE-2020-12689,     CVE-2020-12691)

    It was discovered that OpenStack Keystone incorrectly handled the list of roles provided with OAuth1     access tokens. An authenticated user could possibly end up with more role assignments than intended.
    (CVE-2020-12690)

    It was discovered that OpenStack Keystone incorrectly handled EC2 signature TTL checks. A remote attacker     could possibly use this issue to reuse Authorization headers. (CVE-2020-12692)
