OpenStack Security Advisory: 2012-020
CVE: CVE-2012-5625
Date: December 11, 2012
Title: Information leak in libvirt LVM-backed instances
Reporter: Eric Windisch (Cloudscaling)
Products: Nova
Affects: Folsom, Grizzly

Description:
Eric Windisch from Cloudscaling reported a vulnerability in libvirt
LVM-backed instances. The physical volume content was not wiped out
before being reallocated and passed to an instance, which may result in
the disclosure of information from previously-allocated logical volumes.
Only setups using libvirt and LVM-backed instances
(libvirt_images_type=lvm) are affected.

Grizzly (development branch) fix:
http://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/9d2ea970422591f8cdc394001be9a2deca499a5f

Folsom fix (included in upcoming Nova 2012.2.2 stable update):
http://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/a99a802e008eed18e39fc1d98170edc495cbd354
