Description Roman Plevka 2021-10-06 11:53:33 UTC

Description of problem:
User is able to put invalid items into an array of values for some settings.

there's just a basic input validation, checking whether the value is a valid list, but no check of the actual values:

e.g.
"DNS timeout"	
setting happily accepts array like this:
[5, 10, 15, 20, -10, foo]

"Allowed bootdisk types"
setting happily accepts array like this:
[subnet, full_host, non_existing_type]

there might be more.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.10.0-21.0

Expected results:
some setting-specific input validation should be implemented, if values are expected to be specific, pre-defined keywords (like in "Allowed bootdisk types"), i'd expect a help message, listing all the possible values.
