Author Note
mdeslaur the fix for CVE-2014-8124 introduced a regression, which is fixed here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/142737/
seth-arnold The python-django-openstack-auth regression fix is currently only included in the wily package (2015-5-14) – however, no one has complained and testing hasn’t demonstrated any problems. horizon in precise does not appear to take the operations that auto- instantiated django sessions in the newer releases; it looks safe.
