Details

Chmouel Boudjnah discovered that Keystone did not properly invalidate user
tokens when a tenant was disabled which allowed an authenticated user to
retain access via the token. (CVE-2013-4222)

Kieran Spear discovered that Keystone did not properly verify PKI tokens
when performing revocation when using the memcache and KVS backends. An
authenticated attacker could exploit this to bypass intended access
restrictions. (CVE-2013-4294)
