@Kevin: Thanks for your backportable patch. I still need to rebase and
proposed my patch (some UT need to be coded)

@Xu Han Peng: Thanks to create that patch to prevent RA and FHS IPv6
directly to the egress traffic port.

When I writing my patch, I though it could be better to separate first hop security port (spoofing, ARP, DHCP, RA, ND...) to the security group. I think it's two different things. For example, actually, to protect DHCP spoofing, we add provider security group to the security group of a port. But that security group is not visible by the user.
To separate FHS to SG, we need to implement specific RPC calls between API servers and agents. It's a huge work.
Any thoughts ?

Title:
  Neutron firewall anti-spoofing does not prevent ARP poisoning

Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service):
  In Progress
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The neutron firewall driver 'iptabes_firawall' does not prevent ARP cache poisoning.
  When anti-spoofing rules are handled by Nova, a list of rules was added through the libvirt network filter feature:
  - no-mac-spoofing
  - no-ip-spoofing
  - no-arp-spoofing
  - nova-no-nd-reflection
  - allow-dhcp-server

  Actually, the neutron firewall driver 'iptabes_firawall' handles only
  MAC and IP anti-spoofing rules.

  This is a security vulnerability, especially on shared networks.

  Reproduce an ARP cache poisoning and man in the middle:
  - Create a private network/subnet 10.0.0.0/24
  - Start 2 VM attached to that private network (VM1: IP 10.0.0.3, VM2: 10.0.0.4)
  - Log on VM1 and install ettercap [1]
  - Launch command: 'ettercap -T -w dump -M ARP /10.0.0.4/ // output:'
  - Log on too on VM2 (with VNC/spice console) and ping google.fr => ping is ok
  - Go back on VM1, and see the VM2's ping to google.fr going to the VM1 instead to be send directly to the network gateway and forwarded by the VM1 to the gw. The ICMP capture looks something like that [2]
  - Go back to VM2 and check the ARP table => the MAC address associated to the GW is the MAC address of VM1
