How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable heat to version 2013.2.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream heat package and not the heat package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The cloudformation-compatible API in OpenStack Orchestration API (Heat) before Havana 2013.2.1 and Icehouse before icehouse-2 does not properly enforce policy rules, which allows local in-instance users to bypass intended access restrictions and (1) create a stack via the CreateStack method or (2) update a stack via the UpdateStack method.
