Important Impact

Red Hat Product Security has been made aware of two vulnerabilities affecting Heketi in Red Hat Gluster 3 Storage. These vulnerabilities have been assigned CVE-2017-15103 and CVE-2017-15104. These issues were publicly disclosed on December 18th, 2017 and are rated as Important and Low, respectively.

Background Information

Heketi is a RESTful management interface which provides an API to manage GlusterFS nodes and volumes. Heketi users and administrators can interact with this API to provision storage environments.

An OS command injection flaw was found in the Heketi API. As a result, an authenticated Heketi administrator or user could inject OS commands into requests like adding nodes or creating volumes. The Heketi API does not parse requests properly, potentially allowing remote code execution on nodes controlled by Heketi.  An attacker would require a Heketi user or administrator password to exploit this vulnerability if authentication is enabled in the /etc/heketi/heketi.json configuration file. The default configuration for authentication is set to false which means any user who can reach the Heketi API could trigger this flaw. 

Depending on the setup of OpenShift, the Heketi API may be accessible from public networks as the API is available from wherever OpenShift is available. This means public access to the Heketi server API cannot be ruled out.

Mitigation

Verify that authentication is enabled in the /etc/heketi/heketi.json configuration file.

Another possible mitigation is securing TCP port 8080 at the firewall to only accept connections from trusted IP addresses. This may not fully limit your exposure as IP addresses can be spoofed.
