[OSSA 2013-020] Denial of Service in Nova network source security groups (CVE-2013-4185)
by Jeremy Stanley 06 Aug '13

06 Aug '13

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-020 CVE: CVE-2013-4185 Date: August 6, 2013 Title: Denial of Service in Nova network source security groups Reporter: Vishvananda Ishaya (Nebula) Products: Nova Affects: All versions Description: Vishvananda Ishaya from Nebula reported a denial of service vulnerability in Nova's handling of network source security group policy updates. By performing a large number of server creation operations, the proportion of updates increases quadratically and may overwhelm nova-network such that it is no longer able to service other requests in a timely fashion. Only setups relying on nova-network are affected. Havana (development branch) fix: https://review.openstack.org/39541 Grizzly fix: https://review.openstack.org/39543 Folsom fix: https://review.openstack.org/39544 Notes: This fix will be included in the havana-3 development milestone and in a future 2013.1.3 release.

[OSSA 2013-019] Resource limit circumvention in Nova private flavors (CVE-2013-2256)
by Jeremy Stanley 06 Aug '13

06 Aug '13

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-019 CVE: CVE-2013-2256 Date: August 6, 2013 Title: Resource limit circumvention in Nova private flavors Reporter: hzrandd (NetEase) Products: Nova Affects: All versions Description: hzrandd from NetEase reported a resource limit circumvention vulnerability in Nova's handling of private flavors. Any tenant is able to show and boot any other tenant's private flavors by guessing a flavor ID. This not only exposes the flavor's name, memory and disk size, swap allocation, VCPU count and similar flavor properties, but potentially allows circumvention of any resource limits enforced through the os-flavor-access:is_public property. Havana (development branch) fix: https://review.openstack.org/34963 Grizzly fix: https://review.openstack.org/37992 Folsom fix: https://review.openstack.org/38318 Notes: This fix is included in the havana-2 development milestone and will appear in a future 2013.1.3 release.

Mirantis published a brief introduction to how to use benchmarks to take full advantage of the new features. Hardware Extension for Ceilometer <http://www.cloudcomp.ch/2013/07/hardware-extension-for-ceilometer/> Ceilometer <https://launchpad.net/ceilometer> is a monitoring tool for OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/> cloud environments.

However, Ceilometer <https://launchpad.net/ceilometer> is also available for the OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/> releases Folsom and Grizzly. Currently Ceilometer <https://launchpad.net/ceilometer> offers only data of the OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/> core components and the virtual machines of the cloud. For this reason the ICCLab <http://www.cloudcomp.ch/> decided to extend Ceilometer <https://launchpad.net/ceilometer> in a way that it is possible to collect data from hardware devices as well.

It arrives in the form of the Heat <https://wiki.openstack.org/Heat> project, which kicked off in early 2012 and graduated from incubation into OpenStack-proper after the Havana Summit in March this year.
