Overview

keystone is a package that provides authentication, authorization and service discovery mechanisms via HTTP primarily for use by projects in the OpenStack family.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authentication. The EC2 API doesn't have a signature TTL check for AWS Signature V4. An attacker can sniff the Authorization header, and then use it to reissue an OpenStack token an unlimited number of times.
