CVE-2013-4185 is an algorithmic complexity vulnerability affecting OpenStack Compute (Nova) versions before 2013.1.3 and Havana before havana-3, including Red Hat variants. An authenticated remote attacker can trigger a denial of service (DoS) by initiating numerous server creation operations, leading to excessive network source security group policy updates and overwhelming nova-network. The CVSS score of 4.0 indicates a low severity, requiring authentication (Au:S) for exploitation, with a low impact on availability (A:P). There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
