An information exposure issue was discovered in OpenStack Compute's exception_wrapper.py. Legacy notification exception contexts appearing in ERROR-level logs could include sensitive information such as account passwords and authorization tokens.

OpenStack Compute launches and schedules large networks of virtual machines, creating a redundant and scalable cloud computing platform. Compute provides the software, control panels, and APIs required to orchestrate a cloud, including running virtual machine instances and controlling access through users and projects. python-novaclient is the python client for the OpenStack Nova API. The client's Python API and command-line script both implement 100% of the OpenStack Nova API. The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: python-novaclient, openstack-nova.
