Horizon isn't setting this cookie, it's set by the novnc script which usually listens on port 6080. After digging a bit more, it looks like it's getting set by noVNC here:

It looks like the issue is fixed in the latest release of noVNC, but Fedora and Ubuntu both ship a version earlier than the patch which fixed it:

That doesn't have a CVE or anything like it. Since this is an upstream bug, I'm going to report it to the packagers and see if we can get it fixed. Once there's a release in the pipes upstream, we should probably put out an OSSA.

I would appreciate if we can keep this bug private until the packagers have had a chance to respond.
