CVE-2013-1838: OpenStack Compute (Nova) Denial of service via a large number of calls to the addFixedIp function

May 17, 2022 (updated November 26, 2024)

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.
