1. Summary:

 

Updated python-django-horizon packages that fix three security issues,

multiple bugs, and add an enhancement are now available for Red Hat

Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 (Icehouse) for Red Hat Enterprise

Linux 7.

 

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Moderate

security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores,

which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability

from the CVE links in the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

OpenStack 5.0 for RHEL 7 - noarch

 

3. Description:

 

OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) provides administrators and users with a

graphical interface to access, provision, and automate cloud-based

resources.

 

A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the way orchestration

templates were handled. An owner of such a template could use this flaw to

perform XSS attacks against other Horizon users. (CVE-2014-3473)

 

It was found that network names were not sanitized. A malicious user could

use this flaw to perform XSS attacks against other Horizon users by

creating a network with a specially crafted name. (CVE-2014-3474)

 

It was found that certain email addresses were not sanitized. An

administrator could use this flaw to perform XSS attacks against other

Horizon users by storing an email address that has a specially crafted

name. (CVE-2014-3475)

 

Red Hat would like to thank the OpenStack project for reporting these

issues. Upstream acknowledges Jason Hullinger from Hewlett Packard as the

original reporter of CVE-2014-3473, Craig Lorentzen from Cisco as the

original reporter of CVE-2014-3474, and Michael Xin from Rackspace as the

original reporter of CVE-2014-3475.

 

This update also fixes the following bugs:

 

* The python-django-horizon package has been updated to upstream version

2014.1.1. This includes several important bug fixes, including an issue

that prevented access to Swift pseudo-folders through the Dashboard, and

an issue that prevented instances from being launched when using the French

locale (or other locales that use apostrophes). (BZ#1117901)

 

Lastly, this update also adds the following enhancement:

 

* A new "Update" option has been added for OpenStack Networking VPNaaS

support for Dashboard. This makes it easier to use Virtual Private Network

as a Service (VPNaaS). (BZ#1042030)

 

All python-django-horizon users are advised to upgrade to these updated

packages, which correct these issues and add this enhancement.
