Alright, my bad, comment #30 suggested the python-heatclient could get fixed as well.
Here is the final impact description removing client affect:
Title: Heat denial of service through template-validate
Reporter: Steven Hardy (Red Hat)
Products: Heat
Affects: <=2015.1.2, ==5.0.0
Description:
Steven Hardy from Red Hat reported a vulnerability in Heat template validation. By referencing a local file like /dev/zero, an authenticated user may trick the heat engine service to load arbritrary local file content resulting in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion. Note that the file content is not written back to the user, though the user can determine if a file exists and if it is readable by heat-engine. All Heat setups are affected.
