Advisory ID:       RHSA-2016:2117-01
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform
Advisory URL:      https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016:2117.html

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

An update for openstack-manila-ui is now available for Red Hat OpenStack
Platform 9.0 (Mitaka).

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9.0 - noarch

3. Description:

OpenStack's File Share Service (manila) provides the means to easily
provision shared file systems that can be consumed by multiple instances.
These shared file systems are provisioned from pre-existing, back-end
volumes. The UI component provides the dashboard plugin for the service.

Security Fix(es):

* A cross-site scripting flaw was discovered in openstack-manila-ui's
Metadata field contained in its "Create Share" form. A user could inject
malicious HTML/JavaScript code that would then be reflected in the "Shares"
overview. Remote, authenticated, but unprivileged users could exploit this
vulnerability to steal session cookies and escalate their privileges.
(CVE-2016-6519)
