Description Martin Prpič 2016-01-08 03:55:23 EST 
Title: Xen connection password leak in logs via StorageError

Reporter: Matt Riedemann (IBM)
Products: Nova
Affects: >= 2014.2 <= 2015.1.2, ==12.0.0

Description:

Matt Riedemann from IBM reported an information disclosure vulnerability
in Nova. If a StorageError occurs when attempting to connect a volume
using the Xen API, the connection parameters will be logged. These
parameters may include credentials that are not masked. An attacker
with read access to Nova logs could use these credentials with the
Xen API directly. Only Nova deployments using the Xen backend are
affected by this flaw.

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1296839]
Comment 3 Summer Long 2016-01-19 19:05:14 EST 
Statement:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform does not support the Xen hypervisor, and is therefore not affected by this flaw in any supported configuration.
