Details
Garth Mollett discovered that OpenStack Nova did not properly clean up an instance when using rescue mode with the VMWare driver. A remove authenticated user could exploit this to bypass intended quota limits. By default, Ubuntu does not use the VMWare driver. (CVE-2014-3608)
Amrith Kumar discovered that OpenStack Nova did not properly sanitize log message contents. Under certain circumstances, a local attacker with read access to Nova log files could obtain access to sensitive information. (CVE-2014-7230)
