Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0365-01 - 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 flaw was found in the way OpenStack Dashboard sanitized the Instance Name string. By embedding HTML tags in an Instance Name, a remote attacker could use this flaw to execute a script within a victim's browser, resulting in a cross-site scripting attack. Note that only setups using OpenStack Dashboard were affected.
