OpenStack Security Advisory: 2012-014
CVE: CVE-2012-4413
Date: September 12, 2012
Title: Revoking a role does not affect existing tokens
Impact: High
Reporter: Dolph Mathews (Rackspace)
Products: Keystone
Affects: Essex, Folsom

Description:
Dolph Mathews reported a vulnerability in Keystone. Granting and
revoking roles from a user is not reflected upon token validation for
pre-existing tokens. Pre-existing tokens continue to be valid for the
original set of roles for the remainder of the token's lifespan, or
until explicitly invalidated. This fix invalidates all tokens held by
a user upon role grant/revoke to circumvent the issue.
