1. Summary:

An update for openstack-heat is now available for Red Hat OpenStack
Platform 9.0 (Mitaka).

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9.0 - noarch

3. Description:

OpenStack Orchestration (heat) is a template-driven engine used to specify
and deploy configurations for Compute, Storage, and OpenStack Networking.
The service can be used to automate post-deployment actions, which in turn
allows automated provisioning of infrastructure, services, and
applications. Additionally, Orchestration can be integrated with Telemetry
alarms to implement auto-scaling for certain infrastructure resources.

Security Fix(es):

* An access-control flaw was found in the OpenStack Orchestration (heat)
service where a service log directory was improperly made world readable. A
malicious system user could exploit this flaw to access sensitive
information. (CVE-2017-2621)

* An information-leak vulnerability was found in the OpenStack
Orchestration (heat) service. Launching a new stack with a local URL
resulted in a detailed error message, allowing an authenticated user to
conduct network discovery and reveal the details of internal network
services. (CVE-2016-9185)

Red Hat would like to thank Hans Feldt (Ericsson) for reporting
CVE-2017-2621.
