Known Issues and Limitations
The fix for CVE-2013-6419 required patches to both Neutron and Nova to ensure metadata requests between between services are restricted by tenant. To avoid interruption of the metadata service during an upgrade, it is recommended Neutron is upgraded and the neutron-metadata-agent restarted before upgrading Nova.
