3. Description:

OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) provides administrators and users with a
graphical interface to access, provision, and automate cloud-based
resources.

Security Fix(es):

* A DOM-based, cross-site scripting vulnerability was found in the
OpenStack dashboard, where user input was not filtered correctly. An
authenticated dashboard user could exploit the flaw by injecting an
AngularJS template into a dashboard form (for example, using an image's
description), triggering the vulnerability when another user browsed the
affected page. As a result, this flaw could result in user accounts being
compromised (for example, user-access credentials being stolen).
