OpenStack Compute (Nova) Resource limit circumvention in Nova private flavors

GHSA-43cm-73px-5v4m · CVE-2013-4278

Published May 17, 2022 · Modified May 19, 2024

Description

The "create an instance" API in OpenStack Compute (Nova) Folsom, Grizzly, and Havana does not properly enforce the os-flavor-access:is_public property, which allows remote authenticated users to boot arbitrary flavors by guessing the flavor id. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-2256.
