A couple of questions:
* The L3-agent was introduced with Havana, not before right ?
* I assumed the only way to fix a broken deployment is to manually remove the faulty network directly from the database. The former bug report mentioned it was not possible to remove it using "neutron net-delete" but it didn't not provide a way out of this...

Here is the impact description draft #1:

Title: Neutron L3-agent DoS through IPv6 subnet
Reporter: Thiago Martins (HP)
Products: Neutron
Versions: 2013.2 to 2013.2.3, and 2014.1

Description:
Thiago Martins from Hewlett Packard reported a vulnerability in Neutron L3-agent. By creating an IPv6 private subnet attached to a L3 router, an authenticated user may break the L3-agent, preventing further floating IPv4 from being attached for the entire cloud. Note: removal of the faulty network can not be done using the API and must be cleaned at the database level. Only Neutron setups using IPv6 and L3-agent are affected.
