medium Nessus Plugin ID 77321

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Liping Mao discovered that OpenStack Neutron did not properly handle requests for a large number of allowed address pairs. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2014-3555)

Zhi Kun Liu discovered that OpenStack Neutron incorrectly filtered certain tokens. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain authentication tokens used in REST requests. (CVE-2014-4615).

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 packages.
