[OSSA-2013-006] VNC proxy can connect to the wrong VM (CVE-2013-0335)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-006 CVE: CVE-2013-0335 Date: February 26, 2013 Title: VNC proxy can connect to the wrong VM Reporter: Loganathan Parthipan (HP), Rohit Karajgi (NTT Data) Products: Nova Affects: All versions
Description: Loganathan Parthipan (HP) and Rohit Karajgi (NTT Data) independently reported a vulnerability in Nova. If a user requests a console and then deletes the VM, it is possible that the console token could allow connectivity to a different VM before the console token expires if the VNC port gets reused in that time period. This issue can be worked around by disabling VNC support.
