Descriptions
The template-validate command in OpenStack Orchestration API (Heat) before 2015.1.3 (kilo) and 5.0.x before 5.0.1 (liberty) allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) or determine the existence of local files via the resource type in a template, as demonstrated by file:///dev/zero.
El comando template-validate en OpenStack Orchestration API (Heat) en versiones anteriores a 2015.1.3 (kilo) y 5.0.x en versiones anteriores a 5.0.1 (liberty) permite a usuarios remotos autenticados provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria) o determinar la existencia de archivos locales a través del tipo de recurso en una plantilla, según lo demostrado por el archivo:///dev/zero.
A vulnerability was discovered in the OpenStack Orchestration service (heat), where a specially formatted template could be used to trick the heat-engine service into opening a local file. Although the file contents are never disclosed to the end user, an OpenStack-authenticated attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or determine whether a given file name is present on the server.
