RedHat: RHSA-2019-3255:01 Moderate: heketi security, bug fix,
Summary
Heketi provides a RESTful management interface that can be used to manage
the life cycle of GlusterFS volumes. With Heketi, cloud services like
OpenStack Manila, Kubernetes, and OpenShift can dynamically provision
GlusterFS volumes with any of the supported durability types. Heketi will
automatically determine the location for bricks across the cluster, making
sure to place bricks and its replicas across different failure domains.
Heketi also supports any number of GlusterFS clusters, allowing cloud
services to provide network file storage without being limited to a single
GlusterFS cluster.
The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version:
heketi (9.0.0). (BZ#1710080)
Security Fix(es):
* heketi: heketi can be installed using insecure defaults (CVE-2019-3899)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
page(s) listed in the References section.
Bug Fix(es):
* Previously, it was easy to inadvertently set Heketi up in an unsecured
way which increased the risk of unauthorized users to make changes to the
storage managed by Heketi. The default settings have changed to require
users to configure authentication and to make disabling authentication
unintentionally more difficult. (BZ#1701838)
* Previously, when Heketi executed commands within OpenShift/Kubernetes
pods, the commands were executed without a timeout specified. Hence, some
commands never returned which differed from the SSH executor which always
executes commands with a timeout. With this update, the commands that are
executed in the gluster containers have a timeout specified. The timeout
values are the same regardless of what connection type is used.
(BZ#1636912)
* Previously, if Heketi managed multiple clusters and it failed to create
volumes on any of the clusters it would return a generic "No space" error
message. With this update, error messages produced when heketi manages
multiple gluster clusters have been improved. Heketi now displays specific
errors for when the cluster has no nodes or none of the nodes have usable
devices and also reports on each cluster's error by prefixing cluster
errors with the cluster ID. (BZ#1577803)
* Previously, if operation cleanup was requested from the server
simultaneously, the server would try to initiate cleanup for the same
operation twice. This triggered panic in the server. With this update, the
server no longer panics if two operation cleanups are requested at the same
time. (BZ#1702162)
Enhancement(s):
* When a node is removed or added to a gluster trusted storage pool using
heketi, the existing endpoints do not get updated automatically. With this
update, to update the endpoints after node addition/removal, users can now
execute the following commands:
1. heketi-cli volume endpoint patch
* With this update, Heketi tracks additional metadata associated with disk
devices even if the path of the device changes. The outputs of some
commands have been updated to reflect the additional metadata. (BZ#1609553)
Users of Heketi are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
adds these enhancements and fix these bugs.
