NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nova package and not the nova package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

OpenStack Compute (nova) 13.0.0 does not properly delete instances from compute nodes, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) by deleting instances while in the resize state. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2015-3280 regression.
