Summary

Details

OpenStack Compute (Nova) Folsom, Grizzly, and Havana, when use_cow_images is set to False, does not verify the virtual size of a QCOW2 image, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (host file system disk consumption) by transferring an image with a large virtual size that does not contain a large amount of data from Glance. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-2096.

Summary

nova vulnerabilities

Details

Darragh O'Reilly discovered that the Ubuntu packaging for OpenStack Nova did not properly set up its sudo configuration. If a different flaw was found in OpenStack Nova, this vulnerability could be used to escalate privileges. This issue only affected Ubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-1068)

Bernhard M. Wiedemann and Pedraig Brady discovered that OpenStack Nova did not properly verify the virtual size of a QCOW2 images. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this to create a denial of service via disk consumption. This issue did not affect Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-4463, CVE-2013-4469)

JuanFra Rodriguez Cardoso discovered that OpenStack Nova did not enforce SSL connections when Nova was configured to use QPid and qpid_protocol is set to 'ssl'. If a remote attacker were able to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to view sensitive information. Ubuntu does not use QPid with Nova by default. This issue did not affect Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-6491)

Loganathan Parthipan discovered that OpenStack Nova did not properly create expected files during KVM live block migration. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this to obtain root disk snapshot contents via ephemeral storage. This issue did not affect Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-7130)

Stanislaw Pitucha discovered that OpenStack Nova did not enforce the image format when rescuing an instance. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this to read host files. In the default installation, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt guest AppArmor profile. This issue only affected Ubuntu 13.10. (CVE-2014-0134)

Mark Heckmann discovered that OpenStack Nova did not enforce RBAC policy when adding security group rules via the EC2 API. A remote authenticated user could exploit this to gain unintended access to this API. This issue only affected Ubuntu 13.10. (CVE-2014-0167)

  "details": "Darragh O\u0027Reilly discovered that the Ubuntu packaging for OpenStack Nova\ndid not properly set up its sudo configuration. If a different flaw was\nfound in OpenStack Nova, this vulnerability could be used to escalate\nprivileges. This issue only affected Ubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.\n(CVE-2013-1068)\n\nBernhard M. Wiedemann and Pedraig Brady discovered that OpenStack Nova did\nnot properly verify the virtual size of a QCOW2 images. A remote\nauthenticated attacker could exploit this to create a denial of service via\ndisk consumption. This issue did not affect Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.\n(CVE-2013-4463, CVE-2013-4469)\n\nJuanFra Rodriguez Cardoso discovered that OpenStack Nova did not enforce\nSSL connections when Nova was configured to use QPid and qpid_protocol is\nset to \u0027ssl\u0027. If a remote attacker were able to perform a machine-in-the-middle\nattack, this flaw could be exploited to view sensitive information. Ubuntu\ndoes not use QPid with Nova by default. This issue did not affect Ubuntu\n14.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-6491)\n\nLoganathan Parthipan discovered that OpenStack Nova did not properly create\nexpected files during KVM live block migration. A remote authenticated\nattacker could exploit this to obtain root disk snapshot contents via\nephemeral storage. This issue did not affect Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.\n(CVE-2013-7130)\n\nStanislaw Pitucha discovered that OpenStack Nova did not enforce the image\nformat when rescuing an instance. A remote authenticated attacker could\nexploit this to read host files. In the default installation, attackers\nwould be isolated by the libvirt guest AppArmor profile. This issue only\naffected Ubuntu 13.10. (CVE-2014-0134)\n\nMark Heckmann discovered that OpenStack Nova did not enforce RBAC policy\nwhen adding security group rules via the EC2 API. A remote authenticated\nuser could exploit this to gain unintended access to this API. This issue\nonly affected Ubuntu 13.10. (CVE-2014-0167)\n",
