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.
