Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

An uncontrolled resource consumption flaw was found in openstack-neutron. This flaw allows a remote authenticated user to query a list of security groups for an invalid project. This issue creates resources that are unconstrained by the user's quota. If a malicious user were to submit a significant number of requests, this could lead to a denial of service.

Improper Input Validation

A Denial-of-Service flaw was found in the OpenStack Networking (neutron) L2 agent when using the iptables firewall driver. By submitting an address pair that is rejected as invalid by the ipset tool (with zero prefix size), an authenticated attacker can cause the L2 agent to crash.

Incorrect Authorization

OpenStack Neutron allows hardware address impersonation when the linuxbridge driver with ebtables-nft is used on a Netfilter-based platform. By sending carefully crafted packets, anyone in control of a server instance connected to the virtual switch can impersonate the hardware addresses of other systems on the network, resulting in denial of service or in some cases possibly interception of traffic intended for other destinations.

Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

A flaw was found in openstack-neutron's default Open vSwitch firewall rules. By sending carefully crafted packets, anyone in control of a server instance connected to the virtual switch can impersonate the IPv6 addresses of other systems on the network, resulting in denial of service or in some cases possibly interception of traffic intended for other destinations.

Privilege escalation

By creating two security groups with separate/overlapping port ranges, an authenticated user may prevent Neutron from being able to configure networks on any compute nodes where those security groups are present, because of an Open vSwitch (OVS) firewall KeyError. All Neutron deployments utilizing neutron-openvswitch-agent.

Insecure Defaults

An issue was discovered in the iptables firewall module in OpenStack Neutron. By setting a destination port in a security group rule along with a protocol that does not support that option (for example, VRRP), an authenticated user may block further application of security group rules. Only deployments using the iptables security group driver are affected.

Man in the Middle

Live-migrated instances are briefly able to inspect traffic for other instances on the same hypervisor. This brief window could be extended indefinitely if the instance's port is set administratively down prior to live-migration and kept down after the migration is complete. This is possible due to the Open vSwitch integration bridge being connected to the instance during migration. When connected to the integration bridge, all traffic for instances using the …

Improper Input Validation

When using the Linux bridge ml2 driver, non-privileged tenants are able to create and attach ports without specifying an IP address, bypassing IP address validation. A potential denial of service could occur if an IP address, conflicting with existing guests or routers, is then assigned from outside the allowed allocation pool.
