| Description | A flaw in OpenStack Nova’s interaction with the qemu-img utility allows an authenticated user to overwrite arbitrary files on the compute host. This occurs because Nova invokes qemu-img without strictly constraining the disk image format, enabling a malicious user to craft a QCOW2 header on a raw disk and trigger destructive behavior during instance operations such as resize. | An issue was discovered in OpenStack Nova before 30.2.2, 31 before 31.2.1, and 32 before 32.1.1. By writing a malicious QCOW header to a root or ephemeral disk and then triggering a resize, a user may convince Nova's Flat image backend to call qemu-img without a format restriction, resulting in an unsafe image resize operation that could destroy data on the host system. Only compute nodes using the Flat image backend (usually configured with use_cow_images=False) are affected. |
