"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2014:0233 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.

    It was found that PackStack did not correctly install the rules defined in
    the default security groups when deployed on OpenStack Networking
    (neutron), allowing network connections to be made to systems that should
    not have been accessible. (CVE-2014-0071)

    This update also fixes the following bugs:

    * Previously, swift's object versioning was disabled by default. With this
    update, this feature is now enabled in the default configuration file
    ('allow_versions true' in /etc/swift/container-server.conf). (BZ#967308)

    * Previously, it was not possible to run neutron with Open vSwitch using
    Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN). This update adds support for VXLAN in
    neutron. (BZ#1021778)

    * PackStack failed to complete the deployment of OpenStack due to the
    MongoDB service (mongod) being terminated by systemd. This was because
    mongod, when first started, exceeded the timeout value set by systemd.
    With this update, mongod uses small files when it is initially started, and
    no longer exceeds systemd's timeout value. (BZ#1036207)

    * Previously, services for OpenStack Compute and other OpenStack components
    ran in debug mode by default. With this update, the CONFIG_DEBUG_MODE
    configuration parameter has been added. When this parameter is set to 'y',
    all OpenStack services will run in debug mode. By default, debug mode is
    disabled. (BZ#1048041)

    Note: Currently, PackStack does not support deployment of the ML2 Neutron
    plug-in. The ML2 plug-in can be used in manual configurations, or by
    deploying initially with the Open vSwitch plug-in using PackStack and
    converting the installation to use ML2. This method is described at
    http://openstack.redhat.com/Modular_Layer_2_%28ML2%29_Plugin. The progress
    on fixing this bug can be followed in Red Hat Bugzilla bug 1017144.

    All openstack-packstack users are advised to upgrade to these updated
    packages, which correct 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 this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
