tools/sample_data.sh in OpenStack Keystone 2012.1.3, when access to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is configured, uses world-readable permissions for /etc/keystone/ec2rc, which allows local users to obtain access to EC2 services by reading administrative access and secret values from this file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-5483 is a credential exposure issue in OpenStack Keystone 2012.1.3. When EC2 access is configured, a sample data script can leave /etc/keystone/ec2rc world-readable, exposing administrative EC2 access and secret values to local users. Exposure is likely limited to old Keystone 2012.1.3 deployments that used the sample data tooling and configured EC2 access. Systems without local untrusted users or without EC2 compatibility configured are less likely exposed. Treat this as a focused legacy exposure review. It is not broadly internet-exploitable based on the provided sources, but leaked administrative cloud credentials can create serious impact where affected systems still exist. Mitigation focus: Check Red Hat, Fedora, or OpenStack guidance for corrected packages.; Remove world-readable access from /etc/keystone/ec2rc if present.; Rotate exposed EC2 access and secret values if the file was readable..
