## Description

The Nova EC2 API security group implementation in OpenStack Compute (Nova)
2013.1 before 2013.2.4 and icehouse before icehouse-rc2 does not enforce
RBAC policies for (1) add\_rules, (2) remove\_rules, (3) destroy, and other
unspecified methods in compute/api.py when using non-default policies,
which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via these API
requests.
