CVE-2016-6813: Apache CloudStack registerUserKeys authorization vulnerability

CVSS v3:
9.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:L)

Vendors:
The Apache Software Foundation
Accelerite, Inc

Versions affected:
CloudStack versions 4.1 and newer are affected by this issue.

Description:
Apache CloudStack contains an API call[1] designed to allow a user
to register for the developer API.  If a malicious user is able to
determine the ID of another (non-"root") CloudStack user, the
malicious user may be able to reset the API keys for the other user,
in turn accessing their account and resources.

Mitigation:
Some users may be protected from this weakness already, if they
have configured their commands.properties file to limit access to
this api call from the integration API port, instead of general API
port. This can be accomplished by setting registerUserKeys to 1.

Users of Apache CloudStack version 4.9 whom are using the dynamic
roles feature can delete the "Allow" rule for "registerUserKeys"
for each non-administrator role under the Roles/Rules section of
the user interface.

Alternately, users of Apache CloudStack should upgrade to one of
the following versions, based on which release they are currently
using: 4.8.1.1, or 4.9.0.1. These versions contain only security
updates, and no other functionality change. Full details about the
security releases can be found at [2]
