1. Summary:

 

Updated rabbitmq-server packages that fix two security issues and a bug

are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform

6.0 (Juno) for RHEL 7.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 6.0 for RHEL 7 - noarch

 

3. Description:

 

RabbitMQ is an implementation of AMQP, the emerging standard for high

performance enterprise messaging. The RabbitMQ server is a robust and

scalable implementation of an AMQP broker.

 

A cross-site scripting vulnerability was discovered in RabbitMQ, which

allowed using api/ path info to inject and receive data. A remote

attacker could use this flaw to create an "/api/..." URL, forcing a

server error that resulted in the server returning an HTML page with

embedded text from the URL (not escaped). (CVE-2014-9649)

 

A response-splitting vulnerability was discovered in RabbitMQ. An

/api/definitions URL could be specified, which then caused an arbitrary

additional header to be returned. A remote attacker could use this flaw

to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and possibly gain access to secure data.

(CVE-2014-9650)

 

This update also fixes the following bug:

 

* Previously, if the rabbit_mirror_queue_master did not return when using

HA and 'auto_delete' queues, the RabbitMQ server blocked channels during

termination. These channels would then have no associated connections and

were displayed as 'unknown'. This issue has been resolved. (BZ#1303747)

 

All rabbitmq-server users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,

which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
