OpenStack Neutron Intended MAC-spoofing protection mechanism bypass

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 17, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated May 14, 2024

Package

pip neutron (pip)

Affected versions

<= 7.0.4
>= 8.0.0, < 8.1.0

Patched versions

7.1.0
8.1.0

Description

The IPTables firewall in OpenStack Neutron up to 7.0.4 and 8.x before 8.1.0 allows remote attackers to bypass an intended MAC-spoofing protection mechanism and consequently cause a denial of service or intercept network traffic via (1) a crafted DHCP discovery message or (2) crafted non-IP traffic.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
