XML Entity Expansion (XEE) in Django

The XML libraries for Python, as used in OpenStack Keystone Essex, Folsom, and Grizzly; Compute Nova Essex and Folsom; Cinder Folsom; Django; and possibly other products allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service resource consumption and crash via an XML Entity Expansion XEE attack...

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...
