=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated openstack-swift packages that fix one security issue 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. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,

which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in

the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

OpenStack 5.0 for RHEL 7 - noarch

 

3. Description:

 

OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) provides object storage in virtual

containers, which allows users to store and retrieve files (arbitrary

data).

 

It was found that Swift did not escape all HTTP header values, allowing

data to be injected into the responses sent from the Swift server. This

could lead to cross-site scripting attacks (and possibly other impacts) if

a user were tricked into clicking on a malicious URL. (CVE-2014-3497)

 

Red Hat would like to thank the OpenStack project for reporting this issue.

Upstream acknowledges the Globo.com Security Team as the original reporter.

 

All users of openstack-swift are advised to upgrade to these updated

packages, which correct this issue. After installing this update, the

OpenStack Object Storage services will be restarted automatically.
