PYSEC-2014-70

Quick fix

PYSEC-2014-70 — python-keystoneclient: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'python-keystoneclient>=0.7.0'

Details

The auth_token middleware in the OpenStack Python client library for Keystone (aka python-keystoneclient) before 0.7.0 does not properly retrieve user tokens from memcache, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges in opportunistic circumstances via a large number of requests, related to an "interaction between eventlet and python-memcached."
