swift vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in OpenStack Swift.
Software Description:
- swift: OpenStack distributed virtual object store
Details:
It was discovered that OpenStack Swift incorrectly handled tempurls. A
remote authenticated user in possession of a tempurl key authorized for PUT
could retrieve other objects in the same Swift account. (CVE-2015-5223)
Romain Le Disez and Örjan Persson discovered that OpenStack Swift
incorrectly closed client connections. A remote attacker could possibly use
this issue to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2016-0737, CVE-2016-0738)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
python-swift 1.13.1-0ubuntu1.5
swift 1.13.1-0ubuntu1.5
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
