Description Johannes Segitz 2014-06-20 13:27:09 UTC 
CVE-2014-3497

The WWW-Authenticate header value (returned on a 401 response) includes user-supplied strings to indicate the proper auth realm. However, Swift un-quotes the URL and then sets the value in the response. This means that a URL can be constructed that includes new HTML content at the hoster's own domain.

Only openSUSE Factory is affected
