Bug description:
  This bug is already reported in
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1255338, but no security
  impact is discussed in that bug so far. We have been hitting the same
  issue in our cloud recently, and found that it is basically breaking
  quantum-plugin-openvswitch-agent / neutron-plugin-openvswitch-agent
  with errors like this:

  security group was created with:

  quantum security-group-rule-create default --direction egress
  --protocol tcp --port-range-min 80 --port-range-max 80 --remote-ip-
  prefix /32

  Our operations team is telling me, that just removing the broken role
  didn't help, but "restart quantum-plugin-openvswitch-agent" was needed
  on all affected nodes.

  IMHO, this is an issue the vulnerability management team should
  consider. (We have been seeing this on stable/grizzly, but havana and
  upcoming icehouse are also affected.)
