Description Kurt Seifried 2012-09-08 04:08:52 UTC
Russell Bryant (rbryant) of the OpenStack Project reports:

Title: Revoking a role does not affect existing tokens
Impact: High
Reporter: Dolph Mathews (Rackspace)
Products: Keystone
Affects: Essex, Folsom

Description:
Dolph Mathews reported a vulnerability in Keystone. Granting and
revoking roles from a user is not reflected upon token validation for
pre-existing tokens. Pre-existing tokens continue to be valid for the
original set of roles for the remainder of the token's lifespan, or
until explicitly invalidated. This fix invalidates all tokens held by
a user upon role grant/revoke to circumvent the issue.

Comment 1 Kurt Seifried 2012-09-08 04:13:14 UTC
See the attached patches. For Essex, the following patch also needs to
be in place before the fix for the vulnerability will be fully
effective: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/12590/. The equivalent
patch for the memcached token backend in Folsom has already been merged.
