====================================================================
1. Summary:

Updated python-django-horizon packages that fix one security issue are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Low
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:

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 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.
