Descriptions

OpenStack Compute (Nova) Essex before 2011.3 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (Nova-API log file and disk consumption) via a long server name.

OpenStack Compute (Nova) Essex antes de v2011.3 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados provocar una denegación de servicio (por consumo de disco al actualizar el fichero de log de Nova-API) a través de un nombre de servidor demasiado largo.

Dan Prince discovered that Nova did not properly perform input validation on the length of server names. An authenticated attacker could issue requests using long server names to exhaust the storage resources containing the Nova API log file.
