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.

vendor_unpatched cve-2018-14635: Unpatched CVEs for Ubuntu Linux (cve-2018-14635)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2018:2715 advisory.

    OpenStack Networking (neutron) is a pluggable, scalable, and API-driven system that provisions networking     services to virtual machines. Its main function is to manage connectivity to and from virtual machines.

    Security Fix(es):

    * openstack-neutron: A router interface out of subnet IP range results in a denial of service     (CVE-2018-14635)

    For more details about the security issue, including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related     information, refer to the CVE page listed in the References section.

    Bug Fix(es):

    * A new configuration option bridge_mac_table_size has been added for the neutron OVS agent. This value is     set on every Open vSwitch bridge managed by the openvswitch-neutron-agent. The value controls the maximum     number of MAC addresses that can be learned on a bridge. The default value for this new option is 50,000,     which should be enough for most systems. Values outside a reasonable range (10 to 1,000,000) might be     overridden by Open vSwitch. (BZ#1589031)

    * Previously, when a VM was destroyed, the IPv6 lease was not removed from dnsmasq lease files due to a     missing dhcp_release6 binary.

    With this update, the dhcp_release6 binary is now provided in an updated dnsmasq-utils package version.
    (BZ#1545006)
