@George @Tushar Alright, apologizes for the noise, I put both of you as reporter in this impact description draft #2:

Title: Nova instance delete in resize state may leak
Reporter: George Shuklin (Webzilla LTD) and Tushar Patil (NTT DATA, Inc)
Products: Nova
Versions: up to 2014.1.3 and 2014.2

Description:
George Shuklin from Webzilla LTD and Tushar Patil from NTT DATA, Inc independently reported a vulnerability in Nova resize state. If an authenticated user deletes an instance while it is in resize state, it will cause the original instance to not be deleted from the compute node it was running on. An attacker can use this to launch a denial of service attack. All Nova setups are affected.
