CVE-2013-4179
The security group extension in OpenStack Compute (Nova) Grizzly 2013.1.3, Havana before havana-3, and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption and crash) via an XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attack.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.73%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
