Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0941-01 - OpenStack Object Storage provides object storage in virtual containers, which allows users to store and retrieve files. It was found that Swift did not escape all HTTP header values, allowing data to be injected into the responses sent from the Swift server. This could lead to cross-site scripting attacks if a user were tricked into clicking on a malicious URL.
