What is CVE-2013-4477?

The OpenStack Identity (Keystone) has a flaw in its LDAP backend functionality. When an attempt is made to remove a role from a user who does not possess that role, the system inadvertently grants that role to the user. This behavior poses a significant security risk, as local users may exploit this vulnerability to elevate their privileges on the system, compromising the integrity and security of the entire OpenStack environment.
