An XML eXternal Entity (XXE) flaw was found in Nokogiri, a Ruby gem for parsing HTML, XML, and SAX. Using external XML entities, a remote attacker could specify a URL in a specially crafted XML that, when parsed, would cause a connection to that URL to be opened.
A patch shipped with the 1.5.4 release of Nokogiri provided a "nonet" option to disable external connections. However, local file URLs could still be used to exploit this flaw. The 1.6.4 release of Nokogiri fixed this issue by using libxml2 2.9.0.

CVE request and assignment:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2015/q1/57
openstack-utils openstack-db has insecure password creation
OpenStack Neutron before 2014.1.4 and 2014.2.x before 2014.2.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted dnsnameservers value in the DNS configuration.
The notifier middleware in OpenStack PyCADF 0.5.0 and earlier, Telemetry (Ceilometer) 2013.2 before 2013.2.4 and 2014.x before 2014.1.2, Neutron 2014.x before 2014.1.2 and Juno before Juno-2, and Oslo allows remote authenticated users to obtain XAUTHTOKEN values by reading the message queue (v2/meters/http.request).
The catalog url replacement in OpenStack Identity (Keystone) before 2013.2.3 and 2014.1 before 2014.1.2.1 allows remote authenticated users to read sensitive configuration options via a crafted endpoint, as demonstrated by "$(admintoken)" in the publicurl endpoint field.
Smart Proxy (aka Smart-Proxy and foreman-proxy) in Foreman before 1.5.4 and 1.6.x before 1.6.2 does not validate SSL certificates, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended authentication and execute arbitrary API requests via a request without a certificate.
The Floppy Disk Controller (FDC) in QEMU, as used in Xen 4.5.x and earlier and KVM, allows local guest users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and guest crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via the (1) FDCMDREADID, (2) FDCMDDRIVESPECIFICATIONCOMMAND, or other unspecified commands, aka VENOM.
