USN-2005-1: Cinder vulnerabilities

Releases

• Ubuntu 13.04

Packages

• cinder - OpenStack storage service

Details

Rongze Zhu discovered that the Cinder LVM driver did not zero out data
when deleting snapshots. This could expose sensitive information to
authenticated users when subsequent servers use the volume. (CVE-2013-4183)

Grant Murphy discovered that Cinder would allow XML entity processing. A
remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this using the Cinder API to
cause a denial of service via resource exhaustion. (CVE-2013-4179,
CVE-2013-4202)

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
