CVE-2015-5303 python-rdomanager-oscplugin: NeutronMetadataProxySharedSecret parameter uses default value
Last modified: 2018-09-23 23:31:02 EDT
Steven Hardy reports: Currently we don't set the NeutronMetadataProxySharedSecret, (which according to the description in the neutron docs exists to prevent spoofing) - thus is remains at it's bad default value of "unset". I assume this has the potential for security impact given that if it's predictable I guess spoofing metadata requests then becomes possible, but not being a Neutron expert I'm not sure of how serious an issue this may be.
