Summary

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 flaw was discovered in OpenStack Dashboard that could allow a remote attacker to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks if they were able to trick a horizon user into using a malicious heat template. Note that only setups exposing the orchestration dashboard in OpenStack Dashboard were affected. (CVE-2014-0157)
Red Hat would like to thank the OpenStack project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Cristian Fiorentino from Intel as the original reporter.
All python-django-horizon users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue.
