Updated July 11th, 2015:

After reviewing CloudStack components and seeing Debian's advisory on CVE-2015-1793 (CloudStack's "system VM" is Debian based), it looks like CloudStack is not affected by this vulnerability.

Original post follows...

On the 9th of July, the OpenSSL project announced a high severity vulnerability within the OpenSSL library. While this particular vulnerability does not seem to affect SSL servers, there are security issues with SSL clients powered by OpenSSL. Because of this, we suspect there may be issues with parts of CloudStack which initiate SSL connections.

At this point we are still reviewing which particular versions of OpenSSL are used by different versions of CloudStack. Once this review is complete, we will further update the community and this post as to our next steps.

UPDATE: mitigation instructions have been improved (don't update openswan) and we forgot to mention rebooting.
UPDATE: Links to updated System VM templates are now below

Yesterday, a buffer overflow vulnerability was announced in glibc that affects most current Linux distributions. In CloudStack, the system VMs contain a vulnerable version of glibc.

CloudStack community members have built an updated system VM template, which ShapeBlue is hosting at http://packages.shapeblue.com/systemvmtemplate/ (More information on the packages at http://shapeblue.com/packages).

For instructions on how to update the SystemVM template in CloudStack, see here.

For those who wish to patch their running system VMs, ssh into each one and run:

apt-mark hold openswan apt-get clean apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

After updating glibc, the system will need to be rebooted.

Information about how to connect to your System VMs is available here.

Other CloudStack-related systems may be affected!

Please review security updates from Linux distributions you use on your management server, storage systems, hypervisors, as well as other Linux VMs and bare-metal systems running in your environments. This post provides instructions for determining if a system is vulnerable, as well as patching directions for common Linux distributions.

The Apache CloudStack project is pleased to announce the 4.3.2 release of the CloudStack cloud orchestration platform. This is a minor release of the 4.3 branch which released on March 25, 2014. The 4.3.2 release contains more than 100 bug fixes since the 4.3.1 release. As a bug fix release, no new features are included in 4.3.2.

As a minor release it is a simple upgrade from 4.3.0 or 4.3.1 with no architectural changes.

CVE-2014-7807: Apache CloudStack unauthenticated LDAP binds

CVSS:
7.5, AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Vendors:
The Apache Software Foundation
Citrix, Inc.

Versions Afffected:
Apache CloudStack 4.3, 4.4

Description:
Apache CloudStack may be configured to authenticate LDAP users. When so configured, it performs a simple LDAP bind with the name and password provided by a user. Simple LDAP binds are defined with three mechanisms (RFC 4513): 1) username and password; 2) unauthenticated if only a username is specified; and 3) anonymous if neither username or password is specified. Currently, Apache CloudStack does not check if the password was provided which could allow an attacker to bind as an unauthenticated user.

Mitigation:
Users of Apache CloudStack 4.4 and derivatives should update to the latest version (4.4.2)

An updated release for Apache CloudStack 4.3.2 is in testing. Until that is released, we recommend following the mitigation below:

By default, many LDAP servers are not configured to allow unauthenticated binds. If the LDAP server in use allow this behaviour, a potential interim solution would be to consider disabling unauthenticated binds.

This issue was identified by the Citrix Security Team.

UPDATE 1: The instructions below are incomplete. The proper upgrade command is "apt-get install openssl libssl1.0.0". If you've just updated openssl, please go back and update libssl as well.
UPDATE 2: Adding instructions for VMWare-hosted System VMs (Thanks to Geoff Higginbottom at ShapeBlue)
UPDATE 3: Added instructions for verification of correct versions installed
UPDATE 4: Apache CloudStack 4.0-4.1 not vulnerable, they use older Debian/openssl.

Earlier this week, a security vulnerability was disclosed in OpenSSL, one of the software libraries that Apache CloudStack uses to encrypt data sent over network connections. As the vulnerability has existed in OpenSSL since early 2012, System VMs in Apache CloudStack versions 4.1.1-4.3 are running software using vulnerable versions of OpenSSL. This includes CloudStack's Virtual Router VMs, Console Proxy VMs, and Secondary Storage VMs.

We are actively working on creating updated System VM templates for each recent version of Apache CloudStack, and for each of the hypervisor platforms which Apache CloudStack supports. Due to our testing and QA processes, this will take several days. In the meantime, we want to provide our users with a temporary workaround for currently running System VMs.

If you are running Apache CloudStack 4.0.0-incubating through the recent 4.3 release, the following steps will help ensure the security of your cloud infrastructure until an updated version of the System VM template is available:

For KVM/Xen hosted systems

  1. As an administrator in the CloudStack web UI, navigate to Infrastructure->System VMs
  2. For each System VM listed, note the host it is running on, and it’s “Link Local IP address."
  3. With that data, perform the following steps for each System VM:
    1. ssh into that host as root
    2. From the host, ssh into the SSVM via it’s link local IP address: (e.g. ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa.cloud -p 3922 169.254.3.33)
    3. On the System VM, first run "apt-get update"
    4. Then run apt-get install "openssl libssl1.0.0". If a dialog appears asking to restart programs, accept it’s request.
    5. Next, for Secondary Storage VMs, run /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
    6. Log out of the System VM and host server
  4. Back in the CloudStack UI, now navigate to Infrastructure->Virtual Routers. For each VR, host it's running on and it's link local IP address, and then repeat steps a-f above.

For VMWare hosted systems

  1. As an administrator in the CloudStack web UI, navigate to Infrastructure->System VMs
  2. For each System VM listed, note it's management IP address
  3. With that data, perform the following steps for each System VM:
  4. From the Management Server, ssh to the System VM via it's management IP: (eg ssh -i /var/lib/cloud/management/.ssh/id_rsa -p 3922 root@10.40.50.8)
  5. On the System VM, first run "apt-get update"
  6. Then run apt-get install "openssl libssl1.0.0". If a dialog appears asking to restart programs, accept it’s request.
  7. Next, for Secondary Storage VMs, run /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
  8. Log out of the System VM
  9. Back in the CloudStack UI, now navigate to Infrastructure->Virtual Routers. For each VR, host it's running on and it's link local IP address, and then repeat steps a-f above.

Verification

On each System VM, you can test if it has non-vulnerable openssl packages installed by listing installed packages and looking at the installed versions of openssl and libssl. As in the example below, for a system to be non-vulnerable, the packages need to be at or above version 1.0.1e-2+deb7u6:

root@v-14-VM:~# dpkg -l|grep ssl ii  libssl1.0.0:i386                     1.0.1e-2+deb7u6                  i386         SSL shared libraries ii  openssl                              1.0.1e-2+deb7u6                  i386         Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary and related cryptographic tools

We realize that for larger installations where System VMs are being actively created and destroyed based on customer demand, this is a very rough stop-gap. The Apache CloudStack security team is actively working on a more permanent fix and will be releasing that to the community as soon as possible.

For Apache CloudStack installations that secure the web-based user-interface with SSL, these may also be vulnerable to HeartBleed, but that is outside the scope of this blog post. We recommend testing your installation with [1] to determine if you need to patch/upgrade the SSL library used by any web servers (or other SSL-based services) you use.
