Descriptions

OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) before 2014.1.3 and 2014.2.x before 2014.2.1 does not properly handle session records when using a db or memcached session engine, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a large number of requests to the login page.

OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) anterior a 2014.1.3 y 2014.2.x anterior a 2014.2.1 no maneja correctamente los archivos de sesiones cuando utiliza un motor de sesión db o memcached, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio a través de un número grande de solicitudes en la página de inicio de sesión.

A denial of service flaw was found in the OpenStack Dashboard (horizon) when using the db or memcached session engine. An attacker could make repeated requests to the login page, which would result in a large number of unwanted backend session entries, possibly leading to a denial of service.
