OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) before 2014.1.3 and 2014.2.x before 2014.2.1 does not properly handle session records when using a db or memcached session engine, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a large number of requests to the login page.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-8124 is a denial-of-service issue in OpenStack Horizon. A remote attacker could overload the dashboard by repeatedly requesting the login page when Horizon uses database or memcached-backed sessions. The known fix is to move to Horizon 2014.1.3, 2014.2.1, or vendor-patched packages. Exposure is likely limited to older OpenStack Horizon deployments still running vulnerable 2014-era versions with db or memcached session storage and a reachable login page. Treat as a moderate availability risk for legacy OpenStack environments. Prioritize if Horizon is externally reachable or operationally critical; otherwise handle through normal legacy platform patching. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Horizon to 2014.1.3, 2014.2.1, or later.; Apply vendor-patched packages from Red Hat, Fedora, openSUSE, or Oracle where applicable.; Confirm whether Horizon uses db or memcached session storage..
