Descriptions

The VMWare driver in OpenStack Compute (Nova) before 2014.1.3 allows remote authenticated users to bypass the quota limit and cause a denial of service (resource consumption) by putting the VM into the rescue state, suspending it, which puts into an ERROR state, and then deleting the image. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-2573.

El controlador VMWare en OpenStack Compute (Nova) anterior a 2014.1.3 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados evadir la límite de la cuota y causar una denegación de servicio (consumo de recursos) mediante la colocación del VM en el estado de rescate, su suspensión, lo que entra en un estado de ERROR, y posteriormente la eliminación de la imagen. NOTA: esta vulnerabilidad existe debido a una solución incompleta para CVE-2014-2573.
