Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: openstack-manila-ui security update
Severity
Moderate
Notes
Topic: An update for openstack-manila-ui is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 7.0 (Kilo) for RHEL 7. 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.
Details: 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.
