    Version        : 2:22.4.0-1~deb11u7
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-24708
    Debian Bug     : 1128294

    Dan Smith discovered that nova, a cloud computing fabric controller,
    calls qemu-img without format restrictions for resize, which may result
    in unsafe image resize operations that could destroy data on the host
    system. Only compute nodes using the Flat image backend are affected.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    2:22.4.0-1~deb11u7.

    We recommend that you upgrade your nova packages.

    For the detailed security status of nova please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/nova
