Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
It was found that python-keystoneclient treated all settings in paste.ini files as string types. If the "insecure" option were set to any value in a paste.ini configuration file, it would be evaluated as true, resulting in TLS connections being vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.

Description Murray McAllister 2014-09-18 00:12:18 EDT
The OpenStack project reports:

""
Title: TLS cert verification option not honoured in paste configs
Reporter: Qin Zhao (IBM)
Products: keystonemiddleware, python-keystoneclient
Versions: versions up to 1.1.1 (keystonemiddleware), versions up to 0.10.1
(python-keystoneclient)

Description:
Qin Zhao from IBM reported a vulnerability in keystonemiddleware (formerly
shipped as python-keystoneclient). When the 'insecure' SSL option is set in 
a paste configuration file it is effectively ignored, regardless of its 
value.  As a result certificate verification will be disabled, leaving TLS
connections open to MITM attacks. All versions of keystonemiddleware with
TLS settings configured via a paste.ini file are affected by this flaw.
