Title: Nova VMware driver still leaks rescued images
Reporter: Garth Mollett (Red Hat)
Products: Nova
Versions: up to 2014.1.2

Description:
Garth Mollett from Red Hat reported an incomplete fix to OSSA-2014-017
(CVE-2014-2573), a vulnerability affecting Nova. If an authenticated user
places an instance into rescue, and then issues a suspend command it will
cause the instance to enter an ERROR state. Nova does not clean up an
instance in this state correctly upon deletion. An attacker can use this to
launch a denial of service attack. Only setups using the Nova VMware driver
are affected by this flaw.
