What is CVE-2017-16239?

In OpenStack Nova versions 14.0.0 to 14.0.9, 15.0.0 to 15.0.7, and 16.0.0 to 16.0.2, an authenticated user can rebuild an instance to bypass the intended filter mechanisms of the Filter Scheduler. This vulnerability allows users to circumvent critical filters such as ImagePropertiesFilter and IsolatedHostsFilter. Affected deployments should upgrade to secure versions: Nova 14.x (after 14.0.10), 15.x (after 15.0.8), or 16.x (after 16.0.3) to mitigate the risk associated with this flaw.
