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)
