Neutron functionality includes internal firewall management between networks. Due to the relaxed nature of particular rules, it is possible for machines on the same layer 2 networks to forge non-IP traffic, such as ARP and DHCP requests.

Description Andrej Nemec 2016-06-13 11:44:31 UTC
A vulnerability in Neutron anti-spoof protection. By forging DHCP discovery messages or non-IP traffic, such as ARP or ICMPv6, an instance may spoof IP or MAC source addresses on attached networks resulting in denial of services and/or traffic interception. Moreover when L2population isn't used, other tenants attached to a shared network are also vulnerable. Neutron setups using the IPTables firewall driver are affected.
