Alternate proposal:

Title: Potential Keystone cache backend password leak in log
Reporter: Eric Brown (VMware)
Products: Keystone
Affects: versions through 2014.1.4, and 2014.2 versions through 2014.2.3

Description:
Eric Brown from VMware reported a vulnerability in Keystone. The backend_argument configuration option content is being logged, and it may contain sensitive information for specific backends (like a password for MongoDB). An attacker with read access to Keystone logs may therefore obtain sensitive data about certain backends, . All Keystone setups are potentially impacted.

NB: Kilo is not affected.
