CVE-2017-7214: An issue was discovered in exception_wrapper.py in OpenStack Nova 13.x through 13.1.3, 14.x through 14.0.4, and 15.x through 15.0.1.

CriticalCVSS 9.8 · v3.0—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Plan (action score 40/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 83.5% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: nova (Debian:12) 2:14.0.0-4; nova (PyPI) 13.1.4, 14.0.5, 15.0.2; openstack-nova (Red Hat:openstack:10::el7) 1:14.0.6-2.el7ost.

Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to nova (Debian:12) 2:14.0.0-4; nova (PyPI) 13.1.4, 14.0.5, 15.0.2; openstack-nova (Red Hat:openstack:10::el7) 1:14.0.6-2.el7ost or later.
