Description Andrej Nemec 2017-11-30 08:14:27 EST
It was found that by repeatedly rebuilding an instance with new images, an authenticated user may consume untracked resources on a hypervisor host leading to a denial of service. This regression was introduced with the fix for OSSA-2017-005 (CVE-2017-16239 ), however, only Nova stable/pike or later deployments with that fix applied and relying on the default FilterScheduler are affected.

Statement:

This vulnerability was caused by the fix for a prior vulnerability (CVE-2017-16239). No patches for the earlier vulnerability were released for Red Hat OpenStack before the discover of the new vulnerability. Therefore, current versions of Red Hat OpenStack are not affected by this vulnerability.
