Descriptions

OpenStack Orchestration API (Heat) 2013.2 through 2013.2.3 and 2014.1, when creating the stack for a template using a provider template, allows remote authenticated users to obtain the provider template URL via the resource-type-list.

OpenStack Orchestration API (Heat) 2013.2 hasta 2013.2.3 y 2014.1, cuando crea la pila para una plantilla que utiliza una plantilla de proveedor, permite a usuarios remotos autenticados obtener la URL de plantilla de proveedor a través de resource-type-list.

It was discovered that a user could temporarily be able to see the URL of a provider template used in another tenant. If the template itself could be accessed, then additional information could be leaked that would otherwise not be visible.

OpenStack Orchestration is a template-driven engine used to specify and deploy configurations for Compute, Storage, and OpenStack Networking. It can also be used to automate post-deployment actions, which in turn allows automated provisioning of infrastructure, services, and applications. Orchestration can also be integrated with Telemetry alarms to implement auto-scaling for certain infrastructure resources. It was discovered that a user could temporarily be able to see the URL of a provider template used in another tenant. If the template itself could be accessed, then additional information could be leaked that would otherwise not be visible.
