CVE-2014-2237
OpenStack Identity (Keystone) Trustee token revocations does not work with memcache backend
The memcache token backend in OpenStack Identity (Keystone) 2013.1 through 2.013.1.4, 2013.2 through 2013.2.2, and icehouse before icehouse-3, when issuing a trust token with impersonation enabled, does not include this token in the trustee's token-index-list, which prevents the token from being invalidated by bulk token revocation and allows the trustee to bypass intended access restrictions.
