RHBA-2016:2712 - Red Hat OpenStack Platform 8 Bug Fix and Enhancement Advisory

Synopsis

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 8 Bug Fix and Enhancement Advisory

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory None

Topic

Updated packages that resolve various issues are now available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 8.0 (Liberty) for RHEL 7.

Description

Red Hat OpenStack Platform provides the facilities for building a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud running on commonly available physical hardware.

Changes to the python-oslo-concurrency component:

  • qemu-img calls were unrestricted by ulimit. This caused a security vulnerability (CVE-2015-5162) in Nova. The new minor version of oslo.concurrency adds support for process limits ('prlimit'), which patches the security vulnerability. (BZ#1349515)

Changes to the python-oslo-messaging component:

  • A race condition prevented 'neutron-server' from stopping on the Overcloud. This caused a slow restart of the 'haproxy' resource. This bug fix corrects the race condition and provides resources with quicker and safer restarts. (BZ#1295692)

Solution

Before applying this update, ensure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 8 runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2.

  • An explanation of the way in which the provided components interact to form a working cloud computing environment.
  • Technology Previews, Recommended Practices, and Known Issues.
  • The channels required for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 8, including which channels need to be enabled and disabled.
