Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for python-django-horizon.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2012:1380 advisory.

Horizon is the OpenStack Dashboard (http://www.openstack.org), a web interface for managing OpenStack services.

An open redirect flaw was found in the way Horizon handled authentication.
A remote attacker able to trick a victim into opening the Horizon login page using a specially-crafted link could redirect the victim to an arbitrary web page, and conduct phishing attacks, after the victim successfully logs in. (CVE-2012-3540)

Red Hat would like to thank Thomas Biege of SUSE for reporting this issue.

All users of Horizon are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue. After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon must be restarted (service httpd restart) for the update to take effect.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL python-django-horizon package based on the guidance in RHSA-2012:1380.
