What is CVE-2013-1838?

OpenStack Compute (Nova) versions Grizzly, Folsom, and Essex fail to adequately enforce quotas on fixed IPs. This weakness allows remote authenticated users to overwhelm the system by invoking the addFixedIp function excessively. As a result, the resource exhaustion leads to service disruption, preventing the spawning of new instances and impacting overall system availability.
