Descriptions

The Sheepdog backend in OpenStack Image Registry and Delivery Service (Glance) 2013.2 before 2013.2.4 and icehouse before icehouse-rc2 allows remote authenticated users with permission to insert or modify an image to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted location.

El backend Sheepdog en OpenStack Image Registry and Delivery Service (Glance) 2013.2 anterior a 2013.2.4 y icehouse anterior a icehouse-rc2 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados con permiso insertar o modificar un imagen para ejecutar comandos arbitrarios a través de una localización manipulada.

OpenStack Image service provides discovery, registration, and delivery services for disk and server images. It provides the ability to copy or snapshot a server image, and immediately store it away. Stored images can be used as a template to get new servers up and running quickly and more consistently than installing a server operating system and individually configuring additional services. It was found that Sheepdog, a distributed object storage system, did not properly validate Sheepdog image URIs. A remote attacker able to insert or modify glance image metadata could use this flaw to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user running the glance service. Note that only OpenStack Image setups using the Sheepdog back end were affected.
