Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2013-1838 (CCN-82877)

Assigned:2013-03-14
Published:2013-03-14
Updated:2017-08-29
Summary:OpenStack Compute (Nova) Grizzly, Folsom (2012.2), and Essex (2012.1) does not properly implement a quota for fixed IPs, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion and failure to spawn new instances) via a large number of calls to the addFixedIp function.
