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.

The VMWare driver in OpenStack Compute (Nova) 2013.2 through 2013.2.2 does not properly put VMs into RESCUE status, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass the quota limit and cause a denial of service (resource consumption) by requesting the VM be put into rescue and then deleting the image.
