CVE-2011-4076

OpenStack Nova before 2012.1 allows someone with access to an
EC2_ACCESS_KEY (equivalent to a username) to obtain the EC2_SECRET_KEY
(equivalent to a password). Exposing the EC2_ACCESS_KEY via http or tools
that allow man-in-the-middle over https could allow an attacker to easily
obtain the EC2_SECRET_KEY. An attacker could also presumably brute force
values for EC2_ACCESS_KEY.
