RHEL 7 : python-django-horizon (RHSA-2016:1269)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 234401

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2016:1269 advisory.

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). (CVE-2016-4428)

Red Hat would like to thank the OpenStack project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Beth Lancaster (Virginia Tech) and Brandon Sawyers (Virginia Tech) as the original reporters.

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-2016:1269.
