3. Description:

OpenStack's File Share Service (manila) provides the means to easily
provision shared file systems that can be consumed by multiple instances.
These shared file systems are provisioned from pre-existing, back-end
volumes. The UI component provides the dashboard plugin for the service.

Security Fix(es):

* A cross-site scripting flaw was discovered in openstack-manila-ui's
Metadata field contained in its "Create Share" form. A user could inject
malicious HTML/JavaScript code that would then be reflected in the "Shares"
overview. Remote, authenticated, but unprivileged users could exploit this
vulnerability to steal session cookies and escalate their privileges.
