Summary
David Sinquin discovered that OpenStack Neutron incorrectly handled the
default Open vSwitch firewall rules. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to impersonate the IPv6 addresses of other systems on the network.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
(CVE-2021-20267)
Jake Yip and Justin Mammarella discovered that OpenStack Neutron
incorrectly handled the linuxbridge driver when ebtables-nft is being
used. An attacker could possibly use this issue to impersonate the hardware
addresss of other systems on the network. This issue only affected Ubuntu
18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-38598)
Pavel Toporkov discovered that OpenStack Neutron incorrectly handled
extra_dhcp_opts values. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
reconfigure dnsmasq. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu
20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-40085)
Slawek Kaplonski discovered that OpenStack Neutron incorrectly handled the
routes middleware. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the
API worker to consume memory, leading to a denial of service. This issue
only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-40797)
It was discovered that OpenStack Neutron incorrectly handled certain
queries. A remote authenticated user could possibly use this issue to cause
resource consumption, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-3277)

Critical 9.1
OpenStack Neutron vulnerable to hardware address impersonation
OpenStack Neutron before 16.4.1, 17.x before 17.1.3, and 18.0.0 allows hardware address impersonation when the linuxbridge driver with ebtables-nft is used on a Netfilter-based platform. By sending carefully crafted packets, anyone in control of a server inst…
