Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.841035
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-1466-2)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'nova' package(s) announced via the USN-1466-2 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'nova' package(s) announced via the USN-1466-2 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
USN 1466-1 fixed a vulnerability in Nova. The upstream patch introduced
a regression when a security group granted full access and therefore the
network protocol was left unset, causing an error in processing. This
update fixes the issue.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that, when defining security groups in Nova using
the EC2 or OS APIs, specifying the network protocol (e.g. 'TCP') in
the incorrect case would cause the security group to not be applied
correctly. An attacker could use this to bypass Nova security group
restrictions.

Affected Software/OS:
'nova' package(s) on Ubuntu 11.10, Ubuntu 12.04.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
