NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nova package and not the nova package as distributed by Ubuntu.

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.
