GHSA-92HC-C226-32Q7 OpenStack Compute (Nova)'s VMWare driver vulnerable to denial of service

The VMWare driver in OpenStack Compute Nova before 2014.1.3 allows remote authenticated users to bypass the quota limit and cause a denial of service resource consumption by putting the VM into the rescue state, suspending it, which puts into an ERROR state, and then deleting the image. NOTE: thi...

OpenStack Compute nova before 2014.2.4 juno and 2015.1.x before 2015.1.2 kilo does not properly delete instances from compute nodes, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service disk consumption by deleting instances while in the resize state...

GHSA-67RH-9P29-VRXR OpenStack Compute (Nova) allows remote attackers to bypass intended restriction

OpenStack Compute Nova before 2014.2.4 juno and 2015.1.x before 2015.1.2 kilo do not properly apply security group changes, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended restriction by leveraging an instance that was running when the change was made...

OpenStack Nova DoS through ephemeral disk backing files

The libvirt driver in OpenStack Compute Nova before 2013.2.2 and icehouse before icehouse-2 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service disk consumption by creating and deleting instances with unique ostype settings, which triggers the creation of a new ephemeral disk backing...

GHSA-FFMH-R67W-M88F OpenStack Nova Denial of service attack on the compute host

An issue was discovered in OpenStack Nova 15.x through 15.1.0 and 16.x through 16.1.1. By detaching and reattaching an encrypted volume, an attacker may access the underlying raw volume and corrupt the LUKS header, resulting in a denial of service attack on the compute host. The same code error...

OpenStack Neutron overlapping security group rules prevents compute node network configuration

An issue was discovered in OpenStack Neutron 11.x before 11.0.7, 12.x before 12.0.6, and 13.x before 13.0.3. By creating two security groups with separate/overlapping port ranges, an authenticated user may prevent Neutron from being able to configure networks on any compute nodes where those...

GHSA-9773-3FQG-8W25 OpenStack Neutron's unsupported dport option prevents applying security groups

An issue was discovered in the iptables firewall module in OpenStack Neutron before 10.0.8, 11.x before 11.0.7, 12.x before 12.0.6, and 13.x before 13.0.3. By setting a destination port in a security group rule along with a protocol that doesn't support that option for example, VRRP, an...
