PYSEC-2026-882 OpenStack Nova Changing vnic_type breaks compute service restart

An issue was discovered in OpenStack Nova before 23.2.2, 24.x before 24.1.2, and 25.x before 25.0.2. By creating a neutron port with the direct vnictype, creating an instance bound to that port, and then changing the vnictype of the bound port to macvtap, an authenticated user may cause the compu...

PYSEC-2026-857 OpenStack Nova can leak consoleauth token into log files

An issue was discovered in OpenStack Nova before 18.2.4, 19.x before 19.1.0, and 20.x before 20.1.0. It can leak consoleauth tokens into log files. An attacker with read access to the service's logs may obtain tokens used for console access. All Nova setups using novncproxy are affected. This is...

OpenStack Compute (Nova) Resource limit circumvention in Nova private flavors

The "create an instance" API in OpenStack Compute Nova Folsom, Grizzly, and Havana does not properly enforce the os-flavor-access:ispublic property, which allows remote authenticated users to boot arbitrary flavors by guessing the flavor id. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for...

OpenStack Nova Router metadata queries are not restricted by tenant

Interaction error in OpenStack Nova and Neutron before Havana 2013.2.1 and icehouse-1 does not validate the instance ID of the tenant making a request, which allows remote tenants to obtain sensitive metadata by spoofing the device ID that is bound to a port, which is not properly handled by 1...

PYSEC-2026-875 OpenStack Compute (Nova) vulnerable to denial of service via XML Entity Expansion attack

The security group extension in OpenStack Compute Nova Grizzly 2013.1.3, Havana before havana-3, and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service resource consumption and crash via an XML Entity Expansion XEE attack. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-1664...

PYSEC-2026-859 OpenStack Compute Nova Improper Access Control

The XenAPI backend in OpenStack Compute Nova Folsom, Grizzly, and Havana before 2013.2 does not properly apply security groups 1 when resizing an image or 2 during live migration, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions...
