=================================================================== OSSA-2020-006: Live migration fails to update persistent domain XML =================================================================== :Date: August 25, 2020 :CVE: CVE-2020-17376 Affects ~~~~~~~ - Nova: <19.3.1, >=20.0.0 <20.3.1, ==21.0.0 Description ~~~~~~~~~~~ Tadayoshi Hosoya (NEC) and Lee Yarwood (Red Hat) reported a vulnerability in Nova live migration. By performing a soft reboot of an instance which has previously undergone live migration, a user may gain access to destination host devices that share the same paths as host devices previously referenced by the virtual machine on the source. This can include block devices that map to different Cinder volumes on the destination than the source. The risk is increased significantly in non-default configurations allowing untrusted users to initiate live migrations, so administrators may consider temporarily disabling this in policy if they cannot upgrade immediately. This only impacts deployments where users are allowed to perform soft reboots of server instances; it is recommended to disable soft reboots in policy (only allowing hard reboots) until the fix can be applied.
