3 June 2013

Releases
Packages
- python-keystoneclient - Client library for OpenStack Identity API
Details
Eoghan Glynn and Alex Meade discovered that python-keystoneclient did not
properly perform expiry checks for the PKI tokens used in Keystone. If
Keystone were setup to use PKI tokens (the default in Ubuntu 13.04), a
previously authenticated user could continue to use a PKI token for longer
than intended.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 13.04
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
