Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-1199-01 - The openstack-nova packages provide OpenStack Compute, which provides services for provisioning, managing, and using virtual machine instances. It was found that the fixes for CVE-2013-1664 and CVE-2013-1665, released via RHSA-2013:0657, did not fully correct the issues in the Extensible Markup Language parser used by Nova. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a specially-crafted request to a Nova API, causing Nova to consume an excessive amount of CPU and memory, or possibly crash.
