Descriptions

OpenStack Neutron before 2014.2.4 and 2014.1 before 2014.1.2 allows remote authenticated users to set admin network attributes to default values via unspecified vectors.

OpenStack Neutron anterior a 2014.2.4 y 2014.1 anterior a 2014.1.2 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados configurar los atributos de la red de administración a los valores por defecto a través de vectores no especificados.

It was discovered that unprivileged users could in some cases reset admin-only network attributes to their default values. This could lead to unexpected behavior or in some cases result in a denial of service.

OpenStack Networking is a pluggable, scalable, and API-driven system that provisions networking services to virtual machines. Its main function is to manage connectivity to and from virtual machines. As of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0, 'neutron' replaces 'quantum' as the core component of OpenStack Networking. It was discovered that unprivileged users could in some cases reset admin-only network attributes to their default values. This could lead to unexpected behavior or in some cases result in a denial of service.
