Hi,

a BSA number is needed for an upload of a security fix in horizon, the
web frontend of openstack.

Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
Sunil Yadav from IBM Security Services reported a persistent XSS in
Horizon. An authenticated user may conduct a persistent XSS attack by
setting a malicious metadata to a Glance image, a Nova flavor or a
Host Aggregate and tricking an administrator to load the update
metadata page. Once executed in a legitimate context this attack may
result in a privilege escalation. All Horizon setups are affected.

Cheers,
Martin
