OK, amending description based on that info, please reconfirm:

-------------------------------------------
Title: Keystone trust circumvention through EC2-style tokens
Reporter: Steven Hardy (Red Hat)
Products: Keystone
Affects: Havana and later

Description:
Steven Hardy from Red Hat reported a vulnerability in Keystone trusts when used in conjunction with the ec2tokens API. By generating EC2 credentials using a trust-scoped token, a trustee may retrieve a token not scoped to the trust, therefore elevating privileges to all of the trustor's roles. Only Keystone setups enabling EC2-style authentication are affected.

(Yes, we can push the grizzly fix publicly once this is opened)
