Title:
  IP address for a router interface allowed outside the allocation range
  of subnet

Status in neutron:
  Confirmed
Status in OpenStack Security Advisory:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Currently running Queens on Ubuntu 16.04 with the linuxbridge ml2
  plugin with vxlan overlays.  We have a single, large provider network
  that we have set to 'shared' and 'external', so people who need to do
  things that don't work well with NAT can connect their instances
  directly to the provider network.  Our 'allocation range' as defined
  in our provider subnet is dedicated to tenants, so there should be no
  conflicts.

  One of our users connected a neutron router to the provider network
  (not via the 'external network' option, but rather via the normal 'add
  interface' option) and neglected to specify an IP address.  The
  neutron router decided that it was now the gateway for the entire
  provider network and began arp'ing.

  This seems like it should be disallowed inside of neutron (you
  shouldn't be able to specify an IP address for a router interface that
  isn't explicitly part of your allocation range on said subnet).
  Unless neutron just expect issues like this to be handled by the
  physical provider infrastructure (spoofing prevention, etc.)?
