Ubuntu 12.04 LTS / 12.10 : glance vulnerability (USN-1764-1)

low Nessus Plugin ID 65574

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

Stuart McLaren discovered an issue with Glance v1 API requests. An authenticated attacker could exploit this to expose the Glance operator's Swift and/or S3 credentials via the response headers when requesting a cached image.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected python-glance package.
