Cinder vulnerabilities
vendor_ubuntu·2013-10-23·CVSS 4.3
CVE-2013-4183 [MEDIUM] Cinder vulnerabilities
Title: Cinder vulnerabilities
Summary: Cinder could be made to crash or expose sensitive information.
Rongze Zhu discovered that the Cinder LVM driver did not zero out data
when deleting snapshots. This could expose sensitive information to
authenticated users when subsequent servers use the volume. (CVE-2013-4183)
Grant Murphy discovered that Cinder would allow XML entity processing. A
remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this using the Cinder API to
cause a denial of service via resource exhaustion. (CVE-2013-4179,
CVE-2013-4202)
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

CVE-2013-2256 [MEDIUM] Nova vulnerabilities
Title: Nova vulnerabilities
Summary: Nova could be made to crash if it received specially crafted network
requests.
It was discovered that Nova did not properly enforce the is_public property
when determining flavor access. An authenticated attacker could exploit
this to obtain sensitive information in private flavors. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.10. (CVE-2013-2256, CVE-2013-4278)
Grant Murphy discovered that Nova would allow XML entity processing. A
remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this using the Nova API to
cause a denial of service via resource exhaustion. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 13.10. (CVE-2013-4179)
Vishvananda Ishaya discovered that Nova inefficiently handled network
security group updates when Nova was configured to use nova-network. An

Description:
Grant Murphy from Red Hat reported that vulnerabilities in XML request
parsers were not fully patched in OSSA 2013-004. By leveraging XML
entity expansion in specific extensions, an unauthenticated attacker may
still consume excessive resources on the Nova or Cinder API servers,
