"The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for openstack-packstack.");
  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2013:0595 advisory.

    PackStack is a command line utility that uses Puppet modules to support
    rapid deployment of OpenStack on existing servers over an SSH connection.
    PackStack is suitable for deploying both single node proof of concept
    installations and more complex multi-node installations.

    A flaw was found in PackStack. During manifest creation, the manifest file
    was written to /tmp/ with a predictable file name. A local attacker could
    use this flaw to perform a symbolic link attack, overwriting an arbitrary
    file accessible to the user running PackStack with the contents of the
    manifest, which could lead to a denial of service. Additionally, the
    attacker could read and potentially modify the manifest being generated,
    allowing them to modify systems being deployed using OpenStack.
    (CVE-2013-0261)

    It was discovered that the cinder.conf and all api-paste.ini configuration
    files were created with world-readable permissions. A local attacker could
    use this flaw to view administrative passwords, allowing them to control
    systems deployed and managed by OpenStack. (CVE-2013-0266)

    The CVE-2013-0261 issue was discovered by Kurt Seifried of the Red Hat
    Security Response Team, and CVE-2013-0266 was discovered by Derek Higgins
    of the Red Hat OpenStack team.

    This update also fixes several bugs in the openstack-packstack package.

    All users of openstack-packstack are advised to upgrade to this updated
    package, which corrects these issues.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
