Re: [OSSA 2012-012] Horizon, Open redirect through 'next' parameter (CVE-2012-3540)

 

According to Russell's message - this bug only affects the essex/stable
branch.. No backport is necessary I guess..

Also - https://github.com/openstack/horizon/tree/stable/essex shows the
most recent commit is the commit/fix he linked to..

Thanks,
Kiall
