CVE-2013-4471

Published: 14 May 2014

The Identity v3 API in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) before 2013.2 does not require the current password when changing passwords for user accounts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to change a user password by leveraging the authentication token for that user.

Notes

AuthorNote
jdstrand
v3 api introduced in grizzly (Ubuntu 13.04)
upstream is not issuing a patch for grizzly (13.04) but instead
providing only an OSSN (not issued yet) to for people to change the
configuration defaults in keystone
horizon on Ubuntu 13.04 explictly uses the keystoneclient v2 API
and is therefore not affected
