Descriptions

Ubuntu Metal as a Service (MaaS) 1.2 and 1.4 uses world-readable permissions for txlongpoll.yaml, which allows local users to obtain RabbitMQ authentication credentials by reading the file.

Ubuntu Metal como un servicio (MaaS) 1.2 y 1.4 utiliza permisos de lectura para todos para txlongpoll.yaml, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener credenciales de autenticación de RabbitMQ mediante la lectura del archivo.

James Troup discovered that MAAS stored RabbitMQ authentication credentials in a world-readable file. A local authenticated user could read this password and potentially gain privileges of other user accounts. This update restricts the file permissions to prevent unintended access. Chris Glass discovered that the MAAS API was vulnerable to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing a specially crafted page, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain. Various other issues were also addressed.
