Deployment options are provided either\ninteractively, using the command line, or non-interactively by means of a\ntext file containing a set of preconfigured values for OpenStack\nparameters. PackStack is suitable for deploying proof-of-concept\ninstallations.\n\nIt was discovered that the puppet manifests, as provided with the\nopenstack-puppet-modules package, would configure the pcsd daemon with a\nknown default password. If this password was not changed and an attacker\nwas able to gain access to pcsd, they could potentially run shell\ncommands as root. (CVE-2015-1842)\n\nThis issue was discovered by Alessandro Vozza of Red Hat.\n\nThis update also adds the following enhancement:\n\n* If OpenStack Networking (neutron) is enabled, Packstack now displays a\nwarning if the Network Manager service is active on hosts. (BZ#1117115)\n\nAll openstack-packstack and openstack-puppet-modules users are advised to\nupgrade to these updated packages, which corrects this issue and adds\nthis enhancement.",
