Description Andrej Nemec 2016-06-03 08:46:26 UTC

A vulnerability was found in the overcloud-full images. A default root password is set.

The build process for the input and utility images is a simple kickstart build process.

The image build process for the shipping images involves booting the "utility" image in a VM and running commands on the image. The commands take the input image as a seed RHEL image and customizes it for our use case installing all the relevant OpenStack packages.

The problem in this case is that our kickstart for the input image has:

rootpw ROOTPW
