Still a bit muddled, DHCP is IP traffic, and ARP is already filtered by ebtables. How about:

By forging DHCP discovery messages or non-IP traffic, an instance may spoof IP or MAC source addresses on attached networks resulting in denial of services and/or traffic interception. Moreover when L2population isn't used, other tenants attached to a shared network are also vulnerable. Neutron setups using the IPTables firewall driver are affected.
