CVE-2014-7231  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade nova to version 2013.2.4, 2014.1.3 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. The strutils.mask_password function in the OpenStack Oslo utility library, Cinder, Nova, and Trove before 2013.2.4 and 2014.1 before 2014.1.3 does not properly mask passwords when logging commands, which allows local users to obtain passwords by reading the log.
