    OpenStack Compute (nova) is open source software designed
    to provision and manage large networks of virtual machines, creating a
    redundant and scalable cloud computing platform. It gives you the software,
    control panels, and APIs required to orchestrate a cloud, including running
    instances, managing networks, and controlling access through users and
    projects. OpenStack Compute strives to be both hardware and hypervisor
    agnostic, currently supporting a variety of standard hardware
    configurations and seven major hypervisors.

    Security Fix(es):

    * Arbitrary Host File Overwrite via Unconstrained qemu-img Format Handling in OpenStack Nova
    (CVE-2026-24708)
