RHSA-2015:2512
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2015-11-23 20:20 - Updated: 2026-06-28 12:26A feature in Ceph Object Gateway (RGW) allows to return a specific HTTP header that contains the name of a bucket that was accessed. It was found that the returned HTTP headers were not sanitized. An unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to craft HTTP headers in responses that would confuse the load balancer residing in front of RGW, potentially resulting in a denial of service.

"text": "Red Hat Ceph Storage is a massively scalable, open, software-defined\nstorage platform that combines the most stable version of the Ceph storage\nsystem with a Ceph management platform, deployment tools, and\nsupport services.\n\nA feature in Ceph Object Gateway (RGW) allows to return a specific HTTP\nheader that contains the name of a bucket that was accessed. It was found\nthat the returned HTTP headers were not sanitized. An unauthenticated\nattacker could use this flaw to craft HTTP headers in responses that would\nconfuse the load balancer residing in front of RGW, potentially resulting\nin a denial of service. (CVE-2015-5245)\n\nThe ceph packages have been upgraded to upstream version 0.94.3 and the\nradosgw-agent packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.2.3.\nThe new versions provide a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the\nprevious versions. (BZ#1238415)\n\nThis update also fixes the following bugs:\n\n* This update fixes various bugs in the Ceph monitor nodes and the Ceph\nObject Storage Device (OSD) Daemons. (BZ#1219040, BZ#1223941, BZ#1265973)\n\n* With this update, when using the Civetweb server, the Ceph Object Gateway\nno longer reports the full object size downloaded even though the download\nwas aborted in the middle. (BZ#1235845)\n\n* The Civetweb server now correctly displays the HTTP return code in the\nlog files. (BZ#1245663)\n\n* The Ceph Object Gateway now correctly assigns Access Control Lists (ACL)\nto new objects created during the copy operation. (BZ#1253766)\n\n* Under certain circumstances, copying an object onto itself (for example,\nto change its metadata) produced a truncated object. The truncated object\nhad correct metadata, including the original size, but the underlying RADOS\nobject was smaller. Consequently, when a client attempted to fetch the\nobject, it received less data than indicated by the Content-Length header,\nblocked for more, and eventually timed out. This bug has been fixed, and\nthe object can now be read successfully in the aforementioned scenario.\n(BZ#1258618)\n\n* The Ceph Object Gateway no longer requires the \"requiretty\" setting to be\ndisabled in the sudoers configuration for the root user. (BZ#1238521)\n\n* In certain scenarios, when all acting set Ceph Object Storage Device\n(OSD) Daemons for a placement group (PG) were restarted during the backfill\nprocess, the OSDs failed to peer the PG. Now, the OSDs peer the PGs as\nexpected. (BZ#1223532)\n\nIn addition, this update adds the following enhancements:\n\n* Administrators of the Ceph Object Gateway can now configure the maximum\nnumber of buckets for users by using the new \"rgw_user_max_buckets\" option\nin the Ceph configuration file. (BZ#1254343)\n\n* The suicide timeout option is now configurable. The option ensures that\npoorly behaving OSDs self-terminate instead of running in degraded states\nand slowing traffic. (BZ#1210825)\n\n* The rhcs-installer package provides a new Foreman-based installer.\nThis update adds the new rhcs-installer package to Red Hat Ceph Storage as\na Technology Preview. (BZ#1213026, BZ#1213086, BZ#1220961)\n\nMore information about Red Hat Technology Previews is available here:\nhttps://access.redhat.com/support/offerings/techpreview/\n\nAll Red Hat Ceph Storage users are advised to upgrade to this new version,\nwhich corrects these issues and adds these enhancements.",

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
