NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openstack-nova package and not the openstack-nova package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

OpenStack Compute (Nova) Folsom, Grizzly, and earlier, when using Apache Qpid for the RPC backend, does not properly handle errors that occur during messaging, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection pool consumption), as demonstrated using multiple requests that send long strings to an instance console and retrieving the console log.
