Updated OpenStack Orchestration packages that fix one security issue and

Platform 5.0 (Icehouse) for RHEL 7.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

3. Description:

OpenStack Orchestration (heat) is a template-driven engine used to specify
and deploy configurations for Compute, Storage, and OpenStack Networking.
It can also be used to automate post-deployment actions, which in turn
allows automated provisioning of infrastructure, services, and
applications. Orchestration can also be integrated with Telemetry alarms to
implement auto-scaling for certain infrastructure resources.

A vulnerability was discovered in the OpenStack Orchestration
service (heat), where a specially formatted template could be used to
trick the heat-engine service into opening a local file. Although the
file contents are never disclosed to the end user, an OpenStack-
authenticated attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service
or determine whether a given file name is present on the server.
(CVE-2015-5295)

This issue was discovered by Steven Hardy of Red Hat.
