>From the fix for bug 1837877 https://review.opendev.org/#/c/674821/:

"Note that nova exceptions with a %(reason)s replacement
variable could potentially be leaking sensitive details as
well but those would need to be cleaned up on a case-by-case
basis since we don't want to change the behavior of all
fault messages otherwise users might not see information
like NoValidHost when their server goes to ERROR status
during scheduling."

In this case HypervisorUnavailable is a NovaException so it's treated
differently:

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/a90fe1951200ebd27fe74788c0a96c01104ac2cf/nova/exception.py#L508

As I said above, this could likely show up in fault messages in a lot of
places where the ComputeManager uses the wrap_instance_fault decorator
to inject a fault on exceptions getting raised and anything that changes
the instance status to ERROR, e.g. failed rebuild:

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/a90fe1951200ebd27fe74788c0a96c01104ac2cf/nova/compute/manager.py#L3061

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/a90fe1951200ebd27fe74788c0a96c01104ac2cf/nova/compute/manager.py#L3145

So one question is, do we need to start whitelisting certain exceptions?

And if we do, how? Because the API will always show the message:

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/a90fe1951200ebd27fe74788c0a96c01104ac2cf/nova/api/openstack/compute/views/servers.py#L331

but only show the details (traceback) for admins and non-500 (I guess,
that's weird) error cases:

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/a90fe1951200ebd27fe74788c0a96c01104ac2cf/nova/api/openstack/compute/views/servers.py#L341

When I was working on the CVE fix above, it's complicated to know from
the point that we inject the fault what should be shown based on
context.is_admin because an admin could be rebuilding some non-admin's
server, so we can't really base things on that.

If we only showed the fault message in the API for admins in 500 code
cases, then non-admin users will no longer see NoValidHost.

Do we need to get so granular that we need to set an attribute on each
class of nova exception indicating if its fault message can be exposed
to non-admins? That would be hard to maintain I imagine, but maybe it
would just start with HypervisorUnavailable and we build on that for
other known types of nova exceptions that leak host details?

Title:
  HypervisorUnavailable error leaks compute host fqdn to non-admin users

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  New
Status in OpenStack Security Advisory:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Description
  ===========
  When an instance encounters a HypervisorUnavailable error, the non-admin user gets the info of the compute host fqdn in the error message. 

  Steps to reproduce
  ==================
  1. Spin up an instance with non-admin user credentials
  2. To reproduce the error, stop the libvirtd service on the compute host containing instance
  3. Delete the instance
  4. Deletion fails providing HypervisorUnavailable error

  Expected result
  ===============
  Error does not show compute host fqdn to a non-admin user

  Actual result
  =============
  #spin up an instance
