openstack-nova: Unprivileged API user can access host data using instance snapshot

A flaw was discovered in the OpenStack Compute nova snapshot feature when using the libvirt driver. A compute user could overwrite an attached instance disk with a malicious header specifying a backing file, and then request a snapshot, causing a file from the compute host to be leaked. This flaw...

openstack-nova: network security group changes are not applied to running instances

A vulnerability was discovered in the way OpenStack Compute nova networking handled security group updates; changes were not applied to already running VM instances. A remote attacker could use this flaw to access running VM instances...

openstack-nova: Nova network denial of service through API filtering

A denial of service flaw was found in the way OpenStack Compute nova looked up VM instances based on an IP address filter. An attacker with sufficient privileges on an OpenStack installation with a large amount of VMs could use this flaw to cause the main nova process to block for an extended...

openstack-nova: console Cross-Site WebSocket hijacking

It was discovered that the OpenStack Compute nova console websocket did not correctly verify the origin header. An attacker could use this flaw to conduct a cross-site websocket hijack attack. Note that only Compute setups with VNC or SPICE enabled were affected by this flaw...

UBUNTU-CVE-2015-0259

OpenStack Compute Nova before 2014.1.4, 2014.2.x before 2014.2.3, and kilo before kilo-3 does not validate the origin of websocket requests, which allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users for access to consoles via a crafted webpage...
