RHEL 7 : openstack-manila-ui (RHSA-2016:2116)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 210154

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for openstack-manila-ui.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2016:2116 advisory.

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)

Red Hat would like to thank SUSE for reporting this issue. SUSE acknowledges Niklaus Schiess as the original reporter.

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 openstack-manila-ui package based on the guidance in RHSA-2016:2116.
