Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1709-1
January 29, 2013

nova vulnerability
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 11.10

Summary:

Nova volume could be made to expose volumes from other users.

Software Description:
- nova: OpenStack Compute cloud infrastructure

Details:

Phil Day discovered that nova-volume did not validate access to volumes. An
authenticated attacker could exploit this to bypass intended access
controls and boot from arbitrary volumes.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 12.10:
nova-volume
2012.2.1+stable-20121212-a99a802e-0ubuntu1.1
python-nova
2012.2.1+stable-20121212-a99a802e-0ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
nova-volume
2012.1.3+stable-20120827-4d2a4afe-0ubuntu1.1
python-nova
2012.1.3+stable-20120827-4d2a4afe-0ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 11.10:
nova-volume 2011.3-0ubuntu6.11
python-nova 2011.3-0ubuntu6.11
