2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 for RHEL 7 - noarch

3. Description:

OpenStack Compute (nova) launches and schedules large networks of 
virtual machines, creating a redundant and scalable cloud computing 
platform. Compute provides the software, control panels, and APIs 
required to orchestrate a cloud, including running virtual machine 
instances and controlling access through users and projects.

A vulnerability was discovered in the way OpenStack Compute (nova)
networking handled security group updates; changes were not applied to
already running VM instances. A remote attacker could use this flaw to
access running VM instances. (CVE-2015-7713)

Additional bug fixes include:

* In some cases, Compute did not start instances when RHEL was 
installed with a locale other than en_US. The update ensures that 
logging an exception no longer causes Unicode issues. (BZ#1190837)

All openstack-nova users are advised to upgrade to these updated 
packages, which correct these issues and add these enhancements.
