Description
OpenStack Compute (nova) before 2014.2.4 (juno) and 2015.1.x before 2015.1.2 (kilo) does not properly delete instances from compute nodes, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) by deleting instances while in the resize state.

nova PyPI → 2014.2.4
- pip
pip install --upgrade "nova>=2014.2.4"- poetry
poetry add "nova>=2014.2.4"- uv
