Vulnerability in tripleo-heat-templates (CVE-2017-12155). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via ceph.client.openstack.keyring. Mitigation: upgrade to 7.0.6 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
A resource-permission flaw was found in the tripleo-heat-templates package where ceph.client.openstack.keyring is created as world-readable. A local attacker with access to the key could read or modify data on Ceph cluster pools for OpenStack as though the attacker were the OpenStack service, thus potentially reading or modifying data in an OpenStack Block Storage volume. This has been patched in versions 7.0.6 and 8.0.0.
