1152702: CVE-2014-3703 Red Hat Openstack 4 Neutron: security groups fail to block traffic properly due to packstack configuration
It was discovered that the nova.conf configuration generated by PackStack did not correctly set the libvirt_vif_driver configuration option if the Open vSwitch (OVS) monolithic plug-in was not used. This could result in deployments defaulting to having the firewall disabled unless the nova configuration was manually modified after PackStack was started.
