NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nova package and not the nova package as distributed by Ubuntu.
The libvirt driver in OpenStack Compute (Nova) before 2013.2.2 and icehouse before icehouse-2 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) by creating and deleting instances with unique os_type settings, which triggers the creation of a new ephemeral disk backing file.
