Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1336-01 – OpenStack Dashboard provides administrators and users a graphical interface to access, provision and automate cloud-based resources. The dashboard allows cloud administrators to get an overall view of the size and state of the cloud and it provides end-users a self-service portal to provision their own resources within the limits set by administrators. A persistent cross-site scripting flaw was found in the horizon host aggregate interface. A user with sufficient privileges to add a host aggregate could potentially use this flaw to capture the credentials of another user.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1337-01
Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1337-01 – OpenStack Image service provides discovery, registration, and delivery services for disk and server images. It provides the ability to copy or snapshot a server image, and immediately store it away. Stored images can be used as a template to get new servers up and running quickly and more consistently than installing a server operating system and individually configuring additional services. It was discovered that the image_size_cap configuration option in glance was not honored. An authenticated user could use this flaw to upload an image to glance and consume all available storage space, resulting in a denial of service.
