Python-keystoneclient is a client library and a command line utility for
interacting with the OpenStack Identity API.

It was found that Python-keystoneclient treated all settings in paste.ini
files as string types. If the “insecure” option were set to any value in a
paste.ini configuration file, it would be evaluated as true, resulting in
TLS connections being vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.
(CVE-2014-7144)

Note that when the “insecure” option was not set in paste.ini, it evaluated
to false, and verification was performed.

This update also fixes the following bugs:

  • Previously, when running Python-keystoneclient in the DEBUG log level,
    sensitive data may have been logged in plain text. Refer to the OSSN-0024
    document, linked to in the References, for further information.
    (BZ#1106328)

  • Previously, when attempting to enable the use of the s3_token middleware,
    for use with the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) APIs, a “No
    module named webob” error was returned. (BZ#1133431)

All python-keystoneclient users are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which correct these issues.
