3. Description:

OpenStack Networking (neutron) is a pluggable, scalable, and API-driven
system that provisions networking services to virtual machines. Its main
function is to manage connectivity to and from virtual machines.

Security Fix(es):

* A race-condition flaw was discovered in openstack-neutron where,
following a minor overcloud update, neutron security groups were disabled.
Specifically, the following were reset to 0:
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables and net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables.
The race was only triggered by an update, at which point an attacker could
access exposed tenant VMs and network resources. (CVE-2017-7543)

This issue was discovered by Paul Needle (Red Hat).
