112.0.0.0b3- Upgrade nova to this version or later
Description
OpenStack Compute (nova) 2015.1 through 2015.1.1, 2014.2.3, and earlier does not stop the migration process when the instance is deleted, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (disk, network, and other resource consumption) by resizing and then deleting an instance.
Affected versions
PyPI
How to fix
Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.
nova PyPI → 112.0.0.0b3
- pip
pip install --upgrade "nova>=112.0.0.0b3"- poetry
poetry add "nova>=112.0.0.0b3"- uv
uv add "nova>=112.0.0.0b3"
