services from the Red Hat OpenStack administration portal. The plug-in
provides automated functionality that enables quicker help, answers, and
proactive services. It offers easy and instant access to Red Hat exclusive
knowledge, resources, engagement, and diagnostic features.

It was found that the local log-viewing function of the
redhat-access-plugin for OpenStack Dashboard (horizon) did not sanitize
user input. An authenticated user could use this flaw to read an arbitrary
file with the permissions of the web server. (CVE-2015-0271)
