A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

  • Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary

Details

Boris Bobrov discovered that OpenStack Keystone incorrectly handled
federation mapping when there are rules in which group-based assignments
are not used. A remote authenticated user may receive all the roles
assigned to a project regardless of the federation mapping, contrary to
expectations.

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
keystone 2:9.3.0-0ubuntu3.1
python-keystone 2:9.3.0-0ubuntu3.1
