Description

The template-validate command in OpenStack Orchestration API (Heat) before 2015.1.3 (kilo) and 5.0.x before 5.0.1 (liberty) allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) or determine the existence of local files via the resource type in a template, as demonstrated by file:///dev/zero.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

2015.1.0 ≤ v < 2015.1.35.0.0 ≤ v < 5.0.1
Affected range stops below 2015.1.3, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
Affected range stops below 5.0.1, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
