Python-keystonemiddleware (formely python-keystoneclient) is a client library
and a command line utility for interacting with the OpenStack Identity API.

Red Hat Enterprise OpenStack Platform 6.0 contains and uses both the
python-keystonemiddleware and python-keystoneclient versions of this
package.

It was discovered that some items in the the S3Token configuration as used
by python-keystonemiddleware and python-keystoneclient were incorrectly
evaluated as strings, an issue similar to CVE-2014-7144. This would result
in a setting for ‘insecure=false’ to evaluate as true and leave TLS
connections open to MITM. (CVE-2015-1852)

Red Hat would like to thank the OpenStack project for reporting this issue.
Upstream acknowledges Brant Knudson from IBM as the original reporter.

Note: “insecure” defaults to false, so setups that do not specifically define
“insecure=false” are unaffected.

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