3. Description:

OpenStack Bare Metal (ironic) is a tool used to provision bare metal
(as opposed to virtual) machines. It leverages common technologies such
as PXE boot and IPMI to cover a wide range of hardware. It also supports
pluggable drivers to allow added, vendor-specific functionality.

It was discovered that enabling debug mode in openstack-ironic-discoverd
also enabled debug mode in the underlying Flask framework. If errors were
encountered while Flask was in debug mode, a user experiencing an error
might be able to access the debug console (effectively, a command shell).
(CVE-2015-5306)
