Title:
  policy admin_only rules not enforced when changing value to default
  (CVE-2014-6414)

Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service):
  Fix Committed
Status in neutron havana series:
  Invalid
Status in neutron icehouse series:
  In Progress
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  If a non-admin user tries to update an attribute, which should be
  updated only by admin, from a non-default value to default,  the
  update is successfully performed and PolicyNotAuthorized exception is
  not raised.

  The reason is that when a rule to match for a given action is built
  there is a verification that each attribute in a body of the resource
  is present and has a non-default value. Thus, if we try to change some
  attribute's value to default, it is not considered to be explicitly
  set and a corresponding rule is not enforced.
