1. Summary:

 

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

are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0

(Icehouse) for RHEL 7.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 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#1303748)

 

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
