Descriptions

OpenStack keystonemiddleware (formerly python-keystoneclient) 0.x before 0.11.0 and 1.x before 1.2.0 disables certification verification when the "insecure" option is set in a paste configuration (paste.ini) file regardless of the value, which allows remote attackers to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks via a crafted certificate.

OpenStack keystonemiddleware (anteriormente python-keystoneclient) 0.x anterior a 0.11.0 y 1.x anterior a 1.2.0 deshabilita la verificación de certificados cuando la opción 'inseguro' está configurada en un fichero de la configuración del pegar (paste.ini) independientemente del valor, lo que permite a atacantes remotos realizar ataques de man-in-the-middle a través de un certificado manipulado.

It was found that python-keystoneclient treated all settings in paste.ini files as string types. If the "insecure" option were set to any value in a paste.ini configuration file, it would be evaluated as true, resulting in TLS connections being vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.

Qin Zhao discovered Keystone disabled certification verification when the "insecure" option is set in a paste configuration (paste.ini) file regardless of the value, which allows remote attackers to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks via a crafted certificate. Brant Knudson discovered Keystone disabled certification verification when the "insecure" option is set in a paste configuration (paste.ini) file regardless of the value, which allows remote attackers to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks via a crafted certificate. Various other issues were also addressed.
