Recent OpenStack Neutron Security Vulnerabilities

An uncontrolled resource consumption flaw was found in openstack-neutron

CVE-2022-3277 6.5 - Medium - March 06, 2023

An uncontrolled resource consumption flaw was found in openstack-neutron. This flaw allows a remote authenticated user to query a list of security groups for an invalid project. This issue creates resources that are unconstrained by the user's quota. If a malicious user were to submit a significant number of requests, this could lead to a denial of service.

Resource Exhaustion

An issue was discovered in the routes middleware in OpenStack Neutron before 16.4.1, 17.x before 17.2.1, and 18.x before 18.1.1

CVE-2021-40797 6.5 - Medium - September 08, 2021

An issue was discovered in the routes middleware in OpenStack Neutron before 16.4.1, 17.x before 17.2.1, and 18.x before 18.1.1. By making API requests involving nonexistent controllers, an authenticated user may cause the API worker to consume increasing amounts of memory, resulting in API performance degradation or denial of service.

Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime

An issue was discovered in OpenStack Neutron before 16.4.1, 17.x before 17.2.1, and 18.x before 18.1.1

CVE-2021-40085 6.5 - Medium - August 31, 2021

An issue was discovered in OpenStack Neutron before 16.4.1, 17.x before 17.2.1, and 18.x before 18.1.1. Authenticated attackers can reconfigure dnsmasq via a crafted extra_dhcp_opts value.

OpenStack Neutron before 16.4.1, 17.x before 17.1.3, and 18.0.0

CVE-2021-38598 9.1 - Critical - August 23, 2021

OpenStack Neutron before 16.4.1, 17.x before 17.1.3, and 18.0.0 allows hardware address impersonation when the linuxbridge driver with ebtables-nft is used on a Netfilter-based platform. By sending carefully crafted packets, anyone in control of a server instance connected to the virtual switch can impersonate the hardware addresses of other systems on the network, resulting in denial of service or in some cases possibly interception of traffic intended for other destinations.

Authentication Bypass by Spoofing

A flaw was found in openstack-neutron's default Open vSwitch firewall rules

CVE-2021-20267 7.1 - High - May 28, 2021

A flaw was found in openstack-neutron's default Open vSwitch firewall rules. By sending carefully crafted packets, anyone in control of a server instance connected to the virtual switch can impersonate the IPv6 addresses of other systems on the network, resulting in denial of service or in some cases possibly interception of traffic intended for other destinations. Only deployments using the Open vSwitch driver are affected. Source: OpenStack project. Versions before openstack-neutron 15.3.3, openstack-neutron 16.3.1 and openstack-neutron 17.1.1 are affected.

Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

An issue was discovered in OpenStack Neutron 11.x before 11.0.7, 12.x before 12.0.6, and 13.x before 13.0.3

CVE-2019-10876 6.5 - Medium - April 05, 2019

An issue was discovered in OpenStack Neutron 11.x before 11.0.7, 12.x before 12.0.6, and 13.x before 13.0.3. By creating two security groups with separate/overlapping port ranges, an authenticated user may prevent Neutron from being able to configure networks on any compute nodes where those security groups are present, because of an Open vSwitch (OVS) firewall KeyError. All Neutron deployments utilizing neutron-openvswitch-agent are affected.

An issue was discovered in the iptables firewall module in OpenStack Neutron before 10.0.8

CVE-2019-9735 6.5 - Medium - March 13, 2019

An issue was discovered in the iptables firewall module in OpenStack Neutron before 10.0.8, 11.x before 11.0.7, 12.x before 12.0.6, and 13.x before 13.0.3. By setting a destination port in a security group rule along with a protocol that doesn't support that option (for example, VRRP), an authenticated user may block further application of security group rules for instances from any project/tenant on the compute hosts to which it's applied. (Only deployments using the iptables security group driver are affected.)

Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions

When using the Linux bridge ml2 driver

CVE-2018-14635 6.5 - Medium - September 10, 2018

When using the Linux bridge ml2 driver, non-privileged tenants are able to create and attach ports without specifying an IP address, bypassing IP address validation. A potential denial of service could occur if an IP address, conflicting with existing guests or routers, is then assigned from outside of the allowed allocation pool. Versions of openstack-neutron before 13.0.0.0b2, 12.0.3 and 11.0.5 are vulnerable.

Improper Input Validation

Live-migrated instances are briefly able to inspect traffic for other instances on the same hypervisor

CVE-2018-14636 5.3 - Medium - September 10, 2018

Live-migrated instances are briefly able to inspect traffic for other instances on the same hypervisor. This brief window could be extended indefinitely if the instance's port is set administratively down prior to live-migration and kept down after the migration is complete. This is possible due to the Open vSwitch integration bridge being connected to the instance during migration. When connected to the integration bridge, all traffic for instances using the same Open vSwitch instance would potentially be visible to the migrated guest, as the required Open vSwitch VLAN filters are only applied post-migration. Versions of openstack-neutron before 13.0.0.0b2, 12.0.3, 11.0.5 are vulnerable.

A race-condition flaw was discovered in openstack-neutron before 7.2.0-12.1

CVE-2017-7543 5.9 - Medium - July 26, 2018

A race-condition flaw was discovered in openstack-neutron before 7.2.0-12.1, 8.x before 8.3.0-11.1, 9.x before 9.3.1-2.1, and 10.x before 10.0.2-1.1, where, following a minor overcloud update, neutron security groups were disabled. Specifically, the following were reset to 0: net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables and net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables. The race was only triggered by an update, at which point an attacker could access exposed tenant VMs and network resources.

Race Condition

Race condition in OpenStack Neutron before 2014.2.4 and 2015.1 before 2015.1.2, when using the ML2 plugin or the security groups AMQP API

CVE-2015-5240 - October 27, 2015

Race condition in OpenStack Neutron before 2014.2.4 and 2015.1 before 2015.1.2, when using the ML2 plugin or the security groups AMQP API, allows remote authenticated users to bypass IP anti-spoofing controls by changing the device owner of a port to start with network: before the security group rules are applied.

Race Condition

OpenStack Neutron before 2014.2.4 (juno) and 2015.1.x before 2015.1.1 (kilo), when using the IPTables firewall driver, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (L2 agent crash) by adding an address pair

CVE-2015-3221 - August 26, 2015

OpenStack Neutron before 2014.2.4 (juno) and 2015.1.x before 2015.1.1 (kilo), when using the IPTables firewall driver, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (L2 agent crash) by adding an address pair that is rejected by the ipset tool.

Improper Input Validation

OpenStack Neutron before 2014.1.4 and 2014.2.x before 2014.2.1

CVE-2014-7821 - November 24, 2014

OpenStack Neutron before 2014.1.4 and 2014.2.x before 2014.2.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted dns_nameservers value in the DNS configuration.

Improper Input Validation

The default configuration in a sudoers file in the Red Hat openstack-neutron package before 2014.1.2-4, as used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Open Stack Platform 5.0 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

CVE-2014-3632 - October 07, 2014

The default configuration in a sudoers file in the Red Hat openstack-neutron package before 2014.1.2-4, as used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Open Stack Platform 5.0 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a crafted configuration file. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2013-6433 regression.

Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

OpenStack Neutron before 2013.2.4, 2014.x before 2014.1.2, and Juno before Juno-2

CVE-2014-3555 - July 23, 2014

OpenStack Neutron before 2013.2.4, 2014.x before 2014.1.2, and Juno before Juno-2 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash or long firewall rule updates) by creating a large number of allowed address pairs.

Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

The l3-agent in OpenStack Neutron 2012.2 before 2013.2.3 does not check the tenant id when creating ports, which

CVE-2014-0056 - May 08, 2014

The l3-agent in OpenStack Neutron 2012.2 before 2013.2.3 does not check the tenant id when creating ports, which allows remote authenticated users to plug ports into the routers of arbitrary tenants via the device id in a port-create command.
