A flaw was found in OpenStack. When a user tries to delete a non-existing access rule in it's scope, it deletes other existing access rules which are not associated with any application credentials.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:2769 advisory.

    python-openstackclient is a unified command-line client for the OpenStack     APIs. It is a thin wrapper to the stock python-*client modules that     implement the actual REST API client actions.

    Security Fix(es):

    * deleting a non existing access rule deletes another existing access rule     in it's scope (CVE-2023-6110)
