openstack: Arbitrary file access through custom VMDK flat descriptor

Published Jan 26, 2023 CVSS 3.1 · 5.7 Medium EPSS 1.1% KEV · Not listed
Description
An issue was discovered in OpenStack Cinder before 19.1.2, 20.x before 20.0.2, and 21.0.0; Glance before 23.0.1, 24.x before 24.1.1, and 25.0.0; and Nova before 24.1.2, 25.x before 25.0.2, and 26.0.0.
