Vulnerability CVE-2013-4261

Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2013-4261 (CCN-86920)

Assigned:

2013-09-03

Published:

2013-09-03

Updated:

2013-10-30

Summary:

OpenStack Compute (Nova) Folsom, Grizzly, and earlier, when using Apache Qpid for the RPC backend, does not properly handle errors that occur during messaging, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection pool consumption), as demonstrated using multiple requests that send long strings to an instance console and retrieving the console log.
