[Wg-openstack] Minutes of Feb 10, 2016 Openstack WG call



== Attendees ==

Lars Kurth, Stefano S, Bob B, Anthony P (Citrix)

Michael Glasgow (Oracle)

Jim Fehlig (Suse)


== Agenda ==

Outstanding Actions ...


ACTION (open): Lars will make mods to docs and upstream 

Lars: have I missed the deadlines already

Bob: Still OK. 

Lars: Do you have a sense on urgency

Bob: By mid march should should be fine

Lars: Used oxygen XML trial license, which has run out and is not looking forward to using text edit

Bob: There may be a recommended open source XML text edit tool


ACTION(Lars): ask on openstack docs IRC for advice


=== Updates ===

Anthony:

* Yesterday, there was an issue with the CI loop logger. Installer stopped working and had to change

a python package. 


ACTION(Anthony): to sync with Bob to make sure we can recreate the setup


Jim:

* No updates. Pushed peer-2-peer migration patches last night in libvirt 1.3.2, which improves migration

* Statistics patches from virtual interfaces are now pushed (Jim has not double checked whether everything has been pushed). 

* Release of 1.3.2 should be end of February


Lars: Should these changes be mentioned in the docs

Jim: not sure, but Joao has the details

Jim: migration out of the box did not used to work without special tweaks, but should work now


ACTION (Joao): verify and let Lars know of any docs changes


=== Security Breach in CI Loop ===

Summary: due to an increase in monthly cost, we tracked down an increase of network traffic, which has shown that the host has been compromised through Jenkins on Jan 7th. Unfortunately Bob, deleted the Jenkins VM by accident such that we can do further forensics. A rogue process was running that was known to an abusive IP address.

One further piece of informationâ

It seems the vast majority of traffic has been transmitted traffic â there should be very little transmitted traffic from the VM.

I wonder if the VM has been compromised and was being used for a DDoS.

Iâm pretty confident the host has been compromised now on Jan 7th; I canât think of any other reason /tmp/su is a new symlink to /usr/sbin/sshd; Jenkins wouldnât do that.

 

root@libvirtxen-jenkins:/tmp# ls -altr

-rwxrwxrwx  1 jenkins jenkins 1599477 Jan  7 11:16 6b4bc32b47474c58

lrwxrwxrwx  1 jenkins jenkins      14 Jan  7 20:45 su -> /usr/sbin/sshd

 

Someone got in through the Jenkins process and has added this 6b4bc32b47474c58 program as a backdoor to get back in.

 

Iâve shutdown the VM.  Clearly a full redeploy and checking of Jenkins security is needed.


Lars: is there some monitoring we could do to avoid running up bills accidentally

Bob: Sure can be done

Lars: We used Credativ to monitor some of our other infrastructure. Could add this.


ACTION(Lars): Discuss with Ian and on the next call with Credativ 


=== April OpenStack Summit ===

Bob will be going Mon-Wed

Michael lives in Austin and will go. 

Lars will be in Austin for OSCON in mid May and could meet Michael then


Michael: anyone presenting?

Lars: No

Michael: We are trying with one paper ...


ACTION(Michael): send link to submission for voting


Lars: would also be happy to promote on Xen Project social media
