{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2017-15114","details":"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.","modified":"2025-10-24T04:46:32Z","published":"2017-11-27T16:29:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2017-15114"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2017-15114"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1510015"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://review.openstack.org/#/c/519015/"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2017-15114"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"tripleo-heat-templates","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/tripleo-heat-templates@0.6.1-1?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.6.1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"0.6.1-1","binary_name":"python-tripleo-heat-templates"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2017/UBUNTU-CVE-2017-15114.json"}},{"package":{"name":"tripleo-heat-templates","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/tripleo-heat-templates@5.2.0-1?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["5.2.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"5.2.0-1","binary_name":"python-tripleo-heat-templates"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2017/UBUNTU-CVE-2017-15114.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
