Draft impact description #2 -

Title: Potential token revocation abuse via group membership
Reporter: Adam Young (Red Hat)
Products: Keystone
Affects: All supported versions

Description:
Adam Young from Red Hat reported a vulnerability in Keystone revocation
process. If a group is deleted, all tokens for all users that are a
member of that group are revoked. By adding users to a group without
users knowledge then deleting that group, a group admin can revoke all
of the users tokens. While the default policy file gives the group
admin role to global admin, an alternative policy could delegate the
"create_group", "add_user_to_group", "delete_group" capabilities to a
set of users. In such a system, those users will also get a token
revocation capability. Only setups using a custom policy file in
Keystone are affected.
