August 22, 2012

nova vulnerability

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

  • Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
  • Ubuntu 11.10

Summary:

Nova could be made to overwrite or corrupt arbitrary files in the compute
host file system.

Software Description:

  • nova: OpenStack Compute cloud infrastructure

Details:

Padraig Brady discovered that the fix for CVE-2012-3361 was incomplete and
an authenticated user could still corrupt arbitrary files on the host
running Nova. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
or possibly gain privileges.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
python-nova 2012.1+stable~20120612-3ee026e-0ubuntu1.3

Ubuntu 11.10:
python-nova 2011.3-0ubuntu6.10

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
