CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade nova to version 2013.1.5, 2013.2.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. 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.
