CVE-2014-0105

Publication date 15 April 2014

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The auth_token middleware in the OpenStack Python client library for Keystone (aka python-keystoneclient) before 0.7.0 does not properly retrieve user tokens from memcache, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges in opportunistic circumstances via a large number of requests, related to an "interaction between eventlet and python-memcached."

Notes

According to upstream, this is difficult to reliably attack since it is dependent on server interactions code present in keystone in Essex and Folsom, python-keystoneclient in Grizzly and higher
