  - An uncontrolled resource consumption flaw was found in openstack-neutron. This flaw allows a remote
    authenticated user to query a list of security groups for an invalid project. This issue creates resources
    that are unconstrained by the user's quota. If a malicious user were to submit a significant number of
    requests, this could lead to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-3277)
