CRITICAL

OpenStack Neutron 7.0.0-7.0.3 and 8.0.0-8.1.0 - Denial of Service via ICMPv6 Spoofing Bypass

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The IPTables firewall in OpenStack Neutron before 7.0.4 and 8.0.0 through 8.1.0 allows remote attackers to bypass an intended ICMPv6-spoofing protection mechanism and consequently cause a denial of service or intercept network traffic via a link-local source address.
