2. Relevant releases/architectures:

3. Description:

 

OpenStack Compute (nova) launches and schedules large networks of

virtual machines, creating a redundant and scalable cloud computing

platform. Compute provides the software, control panels, and APIs

required to orchestrate a cloud, including running virtual machine

instances and controlling access through users and projects.

 

A vulnerability was discovered in the way OpenStack Compute (nova)

networking handled security group updates; changes were not applied to

already running VM instances. A remote attacker could use this flaw to

access running VM instances. (CVE-2015-7713)

 

Additional bug fixes include:

 

* In some cases, Compute did not start instances when RHEL was

installed with a locale other than en_US. The update ensures that

logging an exception no longer causes Unicode issues. (BZ#1190837)

 

All openstack-nova users are advised to upgrade to these updated

packages, which correct these issues and add these enhancements.
