Great explanation--thanks Aaron! With your and Thierry's suggestions, I'll request a CVE with the following impact description unless anyone has further corrections...
--------

Title: Metadata queries from Neutron to Nova are not restricted by tenant
Reporter: Aaron Rosen (VMware)
Products: Neutron, Nova
Affects: All supported releases

Description:
Aaron Rosen from VMware reported a vulnerability in the metadata access from OpenStack Neutron to Nova. Because of a missing authorization check on port binding, by guessing an instance_id a tenant may retrieve another tenant's metadata resulting in information disclosure. Only OpenStack setups running neutron-metadata-agent are affected.
