Descriptions

The puppet manifests in the Red Hat openstack-puppet-modules package before 2014.2.13-2 uses a default password of CHANGEME for the pcsd daemon, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands via unspecified vectors.

Puppet Manifests en el paquete openstack-puppet-modules de Red Hat anterior a 2014.2.13-2 utiliza una contraseño por defecto de CHANGEME para el demonio pcsd, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar comandos de shell arbitrarios a través de vectores no especificados.

It was discovered that the puppet manifests, as provided with the openstack-puppet-modules package, would configure the pcsd daemon with a known default password. If this password was not changed and an attacker was able to gain access to pcsd, they could potentially run shell commands as root.
