Title: TLS cert verification option not honoured in paste configs
Reporter: Qin Zhao (IBM)
Products: keystonemiddleware, python-keystoneclient
Versions: versions up to 1.1.1 (keystonemiddleware), versions up to 0.10.1
(python-keystoneclient)

Description:
Qin Zhao from IBM reported a vulnerability in keystonemiddleware (formerly
shipped as python-keystoneclient). When the 'insecure' SSL option is set in 
a paste configuration file it is effectively ignored, regardless of its 
value.  As a result certificate verification will be disabled, leaving TLS
connections open to MITM attacks. All versions of keystonemiddleware with
TLS settings configured via a paste.ini file are affected by this flaw.

@maintainer(s): since the package or the affected version has never been marked as stable, we don't need to stabilize it. After the bump, please remove the affected versions from the tree.

Maintainer(s), Thank you for cleanup!

No GLSA needed as there are no stable versions.

CVE-2014-7144 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-7144):
  OpenStack keystonemiddleware (formerly python-keystoneclient) 0.x before
  0.11.0 and 1.x before 1.2.0 disables certification verification when the
  "insecure" option is set in a paste configuration (paste.ini) file
  regardless of the value, which allows remote attackers to conduct
  man-in-the-middle attacks via a crafted certificate.
