Description Vasyl Kaigorodov 2015-06-15 08:49:37 EDT
Title: Host file disclosure through qcow2 backing file
Reporter: Bastian Blank (credativ)
Products: Cinder and Nova
Affects: up to 2014.1.4 and 2014.2 versions through 2014.2.2

Description:
Bastian Blank from credativ reported a vulnerability in Cinder and Nova.
By overwriting an image with a malicious qcow2 header, an authenticated
user may mislead Cinder upload-to-image action, resulting in disclosure
of any file from the Cinder server. A similar vulnerability in Nova can
also be used by an authenticated user to trick Nova during a snapshot
upload, resulting in disclosure of any file for which the Nova process
user has access to. All Cinder and Nova setups are affected.
