Overview

nova is an OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of compute technologies, including: libvirt (KVM, Xen, LXC and more), Hyper-V, VMware, XenServer, OpenStack Ironic and PowerVM.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Open Redirect. The console proxies used (novnc, serial, spice) run in a websockify server whose request handler inherits from the python standard SimpleHTTPRequestHandler. There is a known issue in the SimpleHTTPRequestHandler which allows open redirects by way of URLs in the following format: http://vncproxy.my.domain.com//example.com/%2F.., which if visited, will redirect a user to example.com.
