Impact description draft #1:

Title: Keystone user and group id mismatch.
Reporter: Brant Knudson (IBM)
Products: Keystone
Versions: 2014.1

Description:
Brant Knudson from IBM reported a vulnerability in Keystone. Someone with write access to the Auth backend may willingly or unwillingly grant additional rights by picking the same IDs for users and groups, resulting in roles assigned to a group being assigned to the affected user even if he is not a member of this group.
Only Keystone setups using LDAP backend are likely affected.
