Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Moderate: python-django-horizon security and bug fix update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2014:1336-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-1336.html

Issue date: 2014-09-30

CVE Names: CVE-2014-3594

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

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated python-django-horizon packages that fix one security issue and

several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack

Platform 5.0 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

 

Red Hat Product Security 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:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 for RHEL 6 - noarch

 

3. Description:

 

OpenStack Dashboard (horizon) provides administrators and users a graphical

interface to access, provision and automate cloud-based resources.

The dashboard allows cloud administrators to get an overall view of the

size and state of the cloud and it provides end-users a self-service portal

to provision their own resources within the limits set by administrators.

 

A persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the horizon host

aggregate interface. A user with sufficient privileges to add a host

aggregate could potentially use this flaw to capture the credentials of

another user. (CVE-2014-3594)

 

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

Upstream acknowledges Dennis Felsch and Mario Heiderich from the Horst

Görtz Institute for IT-Security, Ruhr-University Bochum as the original

reporters.

 

This update also fixes the following bugs:

 

* Prior to this update, the "Create an Image" page rendering was blocked

during a file upload. This could cause the browser to disconnect after a

certain period of time, especially when uploading large files. With this

update, the upload is handled in a separate thread, and large image uploads

started via the web dashboard are less likely to time out and fail.

(BZ#1089672)

 

* Creating a user using keystoneclient could fail because keystoneclient

attempted to create a role for the new user when setting up the user.

When a role already existed, this operation failed and a new user was not

created. This update fixes this bug, and user creation works as expected.

(BZ#1094494)

 

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

packages, which correct these issues.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.
