CVE-2013-0266: Puppetlabs-cinder: packstack: openstack: puppetlabs-cinder: information disclosure of openstack administrative passwords due to world-readable configuration files.

A flaw was found in the `puppetlabs-cinder` module, as used in PackStack. This vulnerability is due to incorrect file permissions, specifically world-readable permissions, on the `cinder.conf` and `api-paste.ini` configuration files. A local user can exploit this by reading these files, which leads to the disclosure of OpenStack administrative passwords. This information disclosure could allow unauthorized access to sensitive OpenStack resources.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Affected Red Hat OpenStack PackStack deployments could leave Cinder configuration files readable by any local user. Those files may contain OpenStack administrative passwords. This is not a remote break-in by itself, but a local user or compromised host account could turn exposed credentials into unauthorized OpenStack access. Exposure is most likely in legacy Red Hat OpenStack Platform 4 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5 deployments using openstack-packstack with puppetlabs-cinder-managed Cinder configuration. Treat this as a legacy credential exposure issue. Prioritize systems still running affected OpenStack PackStack releases, especially shared administration hosts. The business risk is unauthorized cloud control-plane access after local compromise, not internet-scale exploitation. Mitigation focus: Apply Red Hat advisory updates for the affected OpenStack PackStack releases.; Follow vendor guidance for corrected puppetlabs-cinder or openstack-packstack packages.; Restrict cinder.conf and api-paste.ini permissions so local users cannot read them..
