Open Stack

"Denial of service" conditions arising from unconstrained resource
consumption by authenticated users is a grey area we struggle with
classifying (and we don't even have confirmation yet that it _can_ be
triggered intentionally by mere users of the environment). At some
point, operators must have a means of identifying abuse by their users,
locking them out and cleaning up the mess. In a "typical" production
deployment servicing potentially risky users, how quickly can an abuser
"fill up" your logs doing this? Will your monitoring system alert
operations to the increase in activity and disk utilization in
reasonable time for them to take mitigating action? Are deployments
likely to include rate-limiting proxies which further throttle problem
API calls such as these?

In most cases, we triage such reports as security hardening
opportunities (class D in our taxonomy: https://security.openstack.org
/vmt-process.html#incident-report-taxonomy ) and since this report is
already public there's no harm in doing that for now while entertaining
further discussion on whether it should be reclassed and any potential
advisory issued.
