by Tristan Cacqueray 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

OpenStack Security Advisory: 2014-014 CVE: CVE-2014-0187 Date: April 22, 2014 Title: Neutron security groups bypass through invalid CIDR Reporters: Stephen Ma (HP) and Christoph Thiel (Deutsche Telekom) Products: Neutron Versions: 2013.1 to 2013.2.3, and 2014.1 Description: Stephen Ma from Hewlett Packard and Christoph Thiel from Deutsche Telekom reported a vulnerability in Neutron security groups. By creating a security group rule with an invalid CIDR, an authenticated user may break openvswitch-agent process, preventing further rules from being applied on the host.
