From ${URL} : OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-012 CVE: CVE-2013-2096 Date: May 16, 2013 Title: Nova fails to verify image virtual size Reporter: Loganathan Parthipan Products: Nova Affects: All versions Description: Loganathan Parthipan publicly reported a vulnerability in Nova. Nova did not implement checking for the virtual size of a qcow2 image used as ephemeral storage for instances. It is therefore possible for a user to create an image which has a large virtual size, but little data. Once the instance is created, the user can then proceed to fill the virtual disk, and consume all available disk on the host node file system. Havana (development branch) fix: https://review.openstack.org/28717 Grizzly fix: https://review.openstack.org/28901 Folsom fix: https://review.openstack.org/29192 References: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1177830 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2013-2096 @maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please say explicitly if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
fix commited for 2013.1 and 2012.4 as nova-2012.2.4-r2.ebuild and nova-2013.1.1-r2.ebuild old badness removed from tree
No glsa needed, was never stable.
My mistake. Closing.
CVE-2013-2096 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-2096): OpenStack Compute (Nova) Folsom, Grizzly, and Havana does not verify the virtual size of a QCOW2 image allows local users to cause a denial of service (host file system disk consumption) by creating an image with a large virtual size that does not contain a large amount of data.
