What is CVE-2017-12155?

A resource-permission flaw exists in the openstack-tripleo-heat-templates package, where the ceph.client.openstack.keyring is inadvertently created with world-readable permissions. This misconfiguration allows a local attacker with access to the key to act as the OpenStack service, presenting significant risks that include unauthorized reading and modification of data within Ceph cluster pools. Attackers could potentially gain access to sensitive information stored in OpenStack Block Storage volumes, leading to severe consequences for data integrity and confidentiality.
