Known Issues and Limitations
The fix for CVE-2013-6419 required patches to both OpenStack Networking 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 OpenStack Networking is upgraded and the quantum-metadata-agent restarted before upgrading Nova.
