[Openstack-security] [Bug 1316271] Re: Network Security: VM hosts can SSH to compute node

I'm not quite sure but I doubt this patch will work because we're not
using share_dhcp_address and by default that one is set to false.
Looking at the code, the simplest method to get that enforced is to add
it to iptables.

Title:
  Network Security: VM hosts can SSH to compute node

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  New
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi guys,

      We're still using nova-network and we'll be using it for a while
  and we noticed that the VM guests can contact the compute nodes on all
  ports ... The one we're the most preoccupied with is SSH.   We've
  written the following patch in order to isolate the VM guests from the
  VM hosts.
