Type Values Removed Values Added
Summary It was discovered that the puppet manifests, as provided with the openstack-puppet-modules package, would configure the pcsd daemon with a known default password. If this password was not changed and an attacker was able to gain access to pcsd, they could potentially run shell commands as root. The puppet manifests in the Red Hat openstack-puppet-modules package before 2014.2.13-2 uses a default password of CHANGEME for the pcsd daemon, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands via unspecified vectors.
