Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1078-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1078-01
Posted Aug 20, 2014
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1078-01 - OpenStack Networking is a pluggable, scalable, and API-driven system that provisions networking services to virtual machines. Its main function is to manage connectivity to and from virtual machines. A denial of service flaw was found in Neutron's handling of allowed address pairs. There was no enforced quota on the amount of allowed address pairs, possibly allowing a sufficiently authorized user to create such a large number of firewall rules as to impact performance, or potentially render a compute node unusable.
