CVE-2017-15114

rhosp-director: Passwordless access for non-libvirt related services when using shared certificate authority

Published Nov 27, 2017 CVSS 3.0 · 8.1 High EPSS 1.7% KEV · Not listed
Description
When libvirtd is configured by OSP director (tripleo-heat-templates) to use the TLS transport it defaults to the same certificate authority as all non-libvirtd services. As no additional authentication is configured this allows these services to connect to libvirtd (which is equivalent to root access). If a vulnerability exists in another service it could, combined with this flaw, be exploited to escalate privileges to gain control over compute nodes.
