Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2206-1
May 06, 2014
horizon vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 13.10
Summary:
OpenStack Horizon did not properly process Heat templates.
Software Description:
- horizon: Web interface for OpenStack cloud infrastructure
Details:
Cristian Fiorentino discovered that OpenStack Horizon did not properly
perform input sanitization for Heat templates. If a user were tricked into
using a specially crafted Heat template, an attacker could conduct
cross-site scripting attacks. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if
a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server
request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or
steal confidential data, within the same domain.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 13.10:
openstack-dashboard 1:2013.2.3-0ubuntu1.1
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
