Ubuntu Security Notice 2247-1 - Darragh O'Reilly discovered that OpenStack Nova did not properly set up its sudo configuration. If a different flaw was found in OpenStack Nova, this vulnerability could be used to escalate privileges. This issue only affected Ubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Bernhard M. Wiedemann and Pedraig Brady discovered that OpenStack Nova did not properly verify the virtual size of a QCOW2 images. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this to create a denial of service via disk consumption. This issue did not affect Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Various other issues were also addressed.
c061c326f8e2fd51cf3da4f0196f40f3e8ce883bba777d9e41fe4665ea5c141aRed Hat Security Advisory 2014-0578-01 - OpenStack Compute launches and schedules large networks of virtual machines, creating a redundant and scalable cloud computing platform. Compute provides the software, control panels, and APIs required to orchestrate a cloud, including running virtual machine instances, managing networks, and controlling access through users and projects. It was found that overwriting the disk inside of an instance with a malicious image, and then switching the instance to rescue mode, could potentially allow an authenticated user to access arbitrary files on the compute host depending on the file permissions and SELinux constraints of those files. Only setups that used libvirt to spawn instances and which had the use of cow images disabled were affected.
