Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1906-01 – Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss Application Server 7. It was discovered that sending requests containing large headers to the Web Console produced a Java OutOfMemoryError in the HTTP management interface. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the EAP Management Console could be opened in an IFRAME, which made it possible to intercept and manipulate requests. An attacker could use this flaw to trick a user into performing arbitrary actions in the Console.

HP Security Bulletin HPSBUX03512 SSRT102254 1 – Potential security vulnerabilities have been identified with HP-UX Web Server Suite running Apache. These vulnerabilities could be exploited remotely to create a Denial of Service (DoS) and other impacts including.. – The TLS vulnerability using US export-grade 512-bit keys in Diffie-Hellman key exchange known as “Logjam” could be exploited remotely to allow unauthorized modification. – The RC4 stream cipher vulnerability in SSL/TLS known as “Bar Mitzvah” could be exploited remotely to allow disclosure of information. Revision 1 of this advisory.

Ubuntu Security Notice 2771-1 – It was discovered that click did not properly perform input sanitization during click package installation. If a user were tricked into installing a crafted click package, a remote attacker could exploit this to escalate privileges by tricking click into installing lenient security policy for the installed application.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1896-01 – KVM is a full virtualization solution for Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. The qemu-kvm-rhev package provides the user-space component for running virtual machines using KVM. A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the way QEMU’s NE2000 NIC emulation implementation handled certain packets received over the network. A privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU instance or potentially execute arbitrary code on the host.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1895-01 – OpenStack Object Storage provides object storage in virtual containers, which allows users to store and retrieve files. The service’s distributed architecture supports horizontal scaling; redundancy as failure-proofing is provided through software-based data replication. Because Object Storage supports asynchronous eventual consistency replication, it is well suited to deployment in multiple data centers. A flaw was found in the OpenStack Object storage service tempurls. An attacker in possession of a tempurl key with PUT permissions may be able to gain read access to other objects in the same project.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1894-01 – Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and a clean, pragmatic design. It focuses on automating as much as possible and adhering to the DRY principle. It was found that Django incorrectly handled the session store. A session could be created by anonymously accessing the django.contrib.auth.views.logout view if it was not decorated correctly with django.contrib.auth.decorators.login_required. A remote attacker could use this flaw to fill up the session store or cause other users’ session records to be evicted by requesting a large number of new sessions.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1907-01 – Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss Application Server 7. It was discovered that sending requests containing large headers to the Web Console produced a Java OutOfMemoryError in the HTTP management interface. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the EAP Management Console could be opened in an IFRAME, which made it possible to intercept and manipulate requests. An attacker could use this flaw to trick a user into performing arbitrary actions in the Console.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1897-01 – OpenStack Image service provides discovery, registration, and delivery services for disk and server images. It provides the ability to copy or snapshot a server image, and immediately store it away. Stored images can be used as a template to get new servers up and running quickly and more consistently than installing a server operating system and individually configuring additional services. A flaw was discovered in the OpenStack Image service where a tenant could manipulate the status of their images by submitting an HTTP PUT request together with an ‘x-image-meta-status’ header. A malicious tenant could exploit this flaw to reactivate disabled images, bypass storage quotas, and in some cases replace image contents. Setups using the Image service’s v1 API could allow the illegal modification of image status. Additionally, setups which also use the v2 API could allow a subsequent re-upload of image contents.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1898-01 – OpenStack Compute launches and schedules large networks of virtual machines, creating a redundant and scalable cloud computing platform. Compute provides the software, control panels, and APIs required to orchestrate a cloud, including running virtual machine instances and controlling access through users and projects. A denial of service flaw was found in the OpenStack Compute instance migration process. Because the migration process does not terminate when an instance is deleted, an authenticated user could bypass user quota and deplete all available disk space by repeatedly re-sizing and deleting an instance.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1909-01 – OpenStack Networking is a pluggable, scalable, and API-driven system that provisions networking services to virtual machines. Its main function is to manage connectivity to and from virtual machines. A race-condition flaw leading to ACL bypass was discovered in OpenStack Networking. An authenticated user could change the owner of a port after it was created but before firewall rules were applied, thus preventing firewall control checks from occurring. All OpenStack Networking deployments that used either the ML2 plug-in or a plug-in that relied on the security groups AMQP API were affected.
