openstack: Arbitrary file access through custom VMDK flat descriptor

A flaw was found in OpenStack-nova, Openstack-glance, and Openstack-cinder. By supplying a specially created VMDK flat image that references a specific backing file path, an authenticated user may convince systems to return a copy of that file's contents from the server, resulting in unauthorized...

SUSE CVE-2012-2654

The 1 EC2 and 2 OS APIs in OpenStack Compute Nova Folsom 2012.2, Essex 2012.1, and Diablo 2011.3 do not properly check the protocol when security groups are created and the network protocol is not specified entirely in lowercase, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restriction...

SUSE CVE-2012-3360

Directory traversal vulnerability in virt/disk/api.py in OpenStack Compute Nova Folsom 2012.2 and Essex 2012.1, when used over libvirt-based hypervisors, allows remote authenticated users to write arbitrary files to the disk image via a .. dot dot in the path attribute of a file element...

SUSE CVE-2013-0335

OpenStack Compute Nova Grizzly, Folsom 2012.2, and Essex 2012.1 allows remote authenticated users to gain access to a VM in opportunistic circumstances by using the VNC token for a deleted VM that was bound to the same VNC port...

SUSE CVE-2013-1838

OpenStack Compute Nova Grizzly, Folsom 2012.2, and Essex 2012.1 does not properly implement a quota for fixed IPs, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service resource exhaustion and failure to spawn new instances via a large number of calls to the addFixedIp function...

SUSE CVE-2013-4463

OpenStack Compute Nova Folsom, Grizzly, and Havana does not properly verify the virtual size of a QCOW2 image, which allows local users to cause a denial of service host file system disk consumption via a compressed QCOW2 image. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-2096...

SUSE CVE-2013-4469

OpenStack Compute Nova Folsom, Grizzly, and Havana, when usecowimages 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 contai...

SUSE CVE-2013-6419

Interaction error in OpenStack Nova and Neutron before Havana 2013.2.1 and icehouse-1 does not validate the instance ID of the tenant making a request, which allows remote tenants to obtain sensitive metadata by spoofing the device ID that is bound to a port, which is not properly handled by 1...

SUSE CVE-2013-6437

The libvirt driver in OpenStack Compute Nova before 2013.2.2 and icehouse before icehouse-2 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service disk consumption by creating and deleting instances with unique ostype settings, which triggers the creation of a new ephemeral disk backing...

SUSE CVE-2014-3608

The VMWare driver in OpenStack Compute Nova before 2014.1.3 allows remote authenticated users to bypass the quota limit and cause a denial of service resource consumption by putting the VM into the rescue state, suspending it, which puts into an ERROR state, and then deleting the image. NOTE: thi...

SUSE CVE-2015-7713

OpenStack Compute Nova before 2014.2.4 juno and 2015.1.x before 2015.1.2 kilo do not properly apply security group changes, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended restriction by leveraging an instance that was running when the change was made...

SUSE CVE-2015-8749

The volumeutils.parsevolumeinfo function in OpenStack Compute Nova before 2015.1.3 kilo and 12.0.x before 12.0.1 liberty includes the connectioninfo dictionary in the StorageError message when using the Xen backend, which might allow attackers to obtain sensitive password information by reading l...

SUSE CVE-2015-9543

An issue was discovered in OpenStack Nova before 18.2.4, 19.x before 19.1.0, and 20.x before 20.1.0. It can leak consoleauth tokens into log files.
