CVE-2014-3608  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade nova to version 2014.1.3 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. The VMWare driver in OpenStack Compute (Nova) before 2014.1.3 allows remote authenticated users to bypass the quota limit and cause a denial of service (resource consumption) by putting the VM into the rescue state, suspending it, which puts into an ERROR state, and then deleting the image. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-2573.
