Description Kristian Fiskerstrand (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-09-15 16:12:36 UTC
From ${URL}:

A vulnerability was discovered in OpenStack (see below). In order to
ensure full traceability, we need a CVE number assigned that we can
attach to further notifications. This issue is already public, although an
advisory was not sent yet.

Title: Admin-only network attributes may be reset to defaults by
non-privileged users
Reporter: Elena Ezhova (Mirantis)
Products: Neutron
Versions: up to 2013.2.4 and 2014.1 versions up to 2014.1.2

Description:
Elena Ezhova from Mirantis reported a vulnerability in Neutron. By updating
a network attribute with a default value a non-privileged user may reset
admin-only network attributes. This may lead to unexpected behavior with
security implications for operators with a custom policy.json, or in some
extreme cases network outages resulting in denial of service. All
deployments using neutron networking are affected by this flaw.

CVE-2014-6414 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-6414):
  OpenStack Neutron before 2014.2.4 and 2014.1 before 2014.1.2 allows remote
  authenticated users to set admin network attributes to default values via
  unspecified vectors.
Comment 2 Matthew Thode ( prometheanfire ) archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2015-01-13 04:04:17 UTC
vulnerable versions removed from tree, also, the CVE description is wrong.

OpenStack Neutron before 2014.2.4
should be
OpenStack Neutron before 2013.2.4
Comment 3 Aaron Bauman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-03-29 08:15:58 UTC
Per previous comments no vulnerable versions in tree.
