+# nova-0001 — CWE-407: O(H×G) group_hosts list membership in ServerGroupAffinityFilter
+
+**Severity:** HIGH
+**File:** `nova/scheduler/filters/affinity_filter.py`
+**Lines:** 150–156
+**Status:** PATCHED
+
+## Description
+
+`_GroupAffinityFilter.host_passes()` is called once per candidate host
+during VM scheduling.  For each call it does:
+
+```python
+group_hosts = (spec_obj.instance_group.hosts    # list of strings
+               if spec_obj.instance_group else [])
+if group_hosts:
+    return host_state.host in group_hosts       # O(G) list scan
+```
+
+`spec_obj.instance_group.hosts` is built by `InstanceGroup.get_hosts()`
+which returns `list(set(...))`.  For a group of G members and H candidate
+hosts evaluated during a single scheduling pass, cost is O(H × G).
+
+With H=500 hosts and G=200 group members this is 100 000 string
+comparisons per scheduling request.
+
+Additionally in the same filter class:
+
+```python
+policies = (spec_obj.instance_group.policies    # ListOfStringsField
+            if spec_obj.instance_group else [])
+if self.policy_name not in policies:            # O(P) per host
+```
+
+`policies` is a `ListOfStringsField` (a list), so `not in` is O(P) per
+call.  With H hosts this is O(H × P).
+
+## Complexity
+
+| Check | Defective | Fixed |
+|-------|-----------|-------|
+| `host in group_hosts` | O(G) per host | O(1) per host |
+| `policy not in policies` | O(P) per host | O(1) per host |
+
+## Fix
+
+Convert `group_hosts` and `policies` to sets before the loop-per-host
+check.  Since `host_passes` is called per host, the set should be built
+once per scheduling request and cached.  The simplest local fix:
+
+```python
+group_hosts = set(spec_obj.instance_group.hosts
+                  if spec_obj.instance_group else [])
+return host_state.host in group_hosts   # O(1)
+```
+
+```python
+policies = set(spec_obj.instance_group.policies
+               if spec_obj.instance_group else [])
+if self.policy_name not in policies:    # O(1)
+```
+
+## Patch
+
+See `patch/nova-0001.patch`
+
+## Test
+
+See `unit/NovaAffinityFilterAlgorithm.java`
+
+## Speedup
+
+At H=500 hosts, G=200 group members: ~200× fewer string comparisons.
