Open Stack

For some reason I was thinking there was an OSSN covering this, but the
closest I found was the one on poor configuration instructions for live
migration exposing libvirt's control interface to tenant instances. I
also don't see anything in the security guide specifically addressing
network hardening for compute nodes (recommended filter rules for local
interfaces, isolating running services onto separate VLANs from instance
virtual interfaces, et cetera) though it's possible I've overlooked it.

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.
