Race condition in the VMware driver in OpenStack Compute (Nova) before 2014.1.4 and 2014.2 before 2014.2rc1 allows remote authenticated users to access unintended consoles by spawning an instance that triggers the same VNC port to be allocated to two different instances.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-8750 is a tenant-isolation flaw in OpenStack Nova when using the VMware driver. A race condition could cause two instances to receive the same VNC console port, allowing an authenticated cloud user to reach another tenant’s console. Exposure is limited to older OpenStack Nova deployments using the VMware driver and VNC console access. The bundle does not support applying this to other hypervisor drivers or modern Nova versions. Prioritize if the organization runs legacy OpenStack with VMware-backed tenants. The business risk is cross-tenant console exposure, which can undermine cloud isolation and confidentiality. Non-VMware or fully patched Nova environments are less likely to be affected. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Nova to 2014.1.4, 2014.2rc1, or later fixed vendor packages.; Apply relevant Red Hat or OpenStack vendor advisories for affected distributions.; Identify deployments using Nova’s VMware driver and VNC console functionality..
