CVE-2018-14635

OpensStack Neutron Denial of Service Vulnerability

6.5 MediumFix available

CVE-2018-14635 is a medium vulnerability (CVSS 6.5) in Openstack Neutron, published September 10, 2018. No source lists public exploit code. EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 2.53%, the 84th percentile. Fixed in neutron 13.0.0.0b2.

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.
