CVE-2013-4497 describes a security vulnerability in OpenStack Compute (Nova) Folsom, Grizzly, and Havana, where the XenAPI backend fails to properly apply security groups during image resizing or live migration. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 6.4) allows remote attackers to bypass intended network restrictions, potentially leading to unauthorized access to virtual machines.
