OpenStack Neutron: Neutron port RBAC policy bypass allows project managers to set trusted device owners on shared networks
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
In OpenStack Neutron before 28.0.1, a project manager can create or update a port on a shared network owned by another project and set device_owner to a value that has "network:" at the beginning ("network:dhcp" for example). The default port RBAC policies incorrectly included PROJECT_MANAGER without requiring network ownership, allowing any project manager to obtain trusted network-service port behavior on shared networks. Depending on backend and deployment, this can bypass anti-spoofing and security group protections, enabling DHCP, MAC, or IP spoofing against other tenants on the shared network. This is a regression of CVE-2015-5240 (OSSA-2015-018).
