Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores,\nwhich give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability\nfrom the CVE links in the References section.", "title": "Topic" }, { "category": "general", "text": "The openstack-nova packages provide OpenStack Compute (code name Nova),\nwhich provides services for provisioning, managing, and using virtual\nmachine instances.\n\nA flaw was found in the way the Nova VNC proxy handled console tokens. In\nsome cases, a console token that was valid for one virtual machine could\nbe used to connect to the console of a different user's virtual machine.\nNote that this flaw did not bypass the normal user name and password\nauthentication on the virtual machine. The attacker would need to know\nvalid credentials to log into the virtual machine. (CVE-2013-0335)\n\nThere was no limit on the number of fixed IP addresses a virtual machine\ncould be assigned with. This could lead to a denial of service if an\nattacker assigned all available IP addresses to their virtual machine. With\nthis update, a default limit of 10 IP addresses per virtual machine is\nenforced. The \"quota_fixed_ips\" option in \"/etc/nova/nova.conf\" can be\nused to set a higher or lower limit. (CVE-2013-1838)\n\nRed Hat would like to thank the OpenStack project for reporting these\nissues. Upstream acknowledges Loganathan Parthipan (HP) and Rohit Karajgi\n(NTT Data) as the original, independent reporters of CVE-2013-0335, and\nVish Ishaya (Nebula) as the original reporter of CVE-2013-1838.\n\nThis update also fixes various bugs in the openstack-nova packages.\n\nAll users of openstack-nova are advised to upgrade to these updated\npackages, which correct these issues. After installing the updated\npackages, the running Nova services will be restarted automatically.", "title": "Details" }, { "category": "legal_disclaimer", "text": "This content is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
