==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in OpenStack Keystone.

Software Description:
- keystone: OpenStack identity service

Details:

Kay discovered that OpenStack Keystone incorrectly handled the ec2tokens
and s3tokens APIs. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
obtain unauthorized access and escalate privileges. (CVE-2025-65073)

It was discovered that OpenStack Keystone only validated the first 72
bytes of an application secret. An attacker could possibly use this issue
to bypass password complexity. (CVE-2021-3563)

It was discovered that OpenStack Keystone had a time lag before a token
should be revoked by the security policy. A remote administrator could use
this issue to maintain access for longer than expected. (CVE-2022-2447)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
