- quantum - OpenStack Virtual Network Service
Details
USN-2208-1 fixed vulnerabilities in OpenStack Cinder. This update provides
the corresponding updates for OpenStack Quantum.
Original advisory details:
JuanFra Rodriguez Cardoso discovered that OpenStack Cinder did not enforce
SSL connections when Nova was configured to use QPid and qpid_protocol is
set to 'ssl'. If a remote attacker were able to perform a machine-in-the-middle
attack, this flaw could be exploited to view sensitive information. Ubuntu
does not use QPid with Nova by default.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 12.10
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
