Detail

Problem Description:

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 7.

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 7 - 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.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1109417 - Adding a new Security Rule to a Security Group shouldn't remove the sort on the table 1124485 - Horizon has an incomplete tag which is visable under chrome. 1129774 - CVE-2014-3594 openstack-horizon: persistent XSS in Horizon Host Aggregates interface
