CVE-2012-1585
OpenStack Compute (Nova) Essex before 2011.3 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (Nova-API log file and disk consumption) via a long server name.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.09%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
