[OSSA-2023-003] cinder, glance_store, nova, os-brick: Unauthorized volume access through deleted volume attachments (CVE-2023-2088)
by Jeremy Stanley 11 May '23

11 May '23

============================================================================ OSSA-2023-003: Unauthorized volume access through deleted volume attachments ============================================================================ :Date: May 10, 2023 :CVE: CVE-2023-2088 Affects ~~~~~~~ - Cinder: <20.2.1, >=21.0.0 <21.2.1, ==22.0.0 - Glance_store: <3.0.1, >=4.0.0 <4.1.1, >=4.2.0 <4.3.1 - Nova: <25.1.2, >=26.0.0 <26.1.2, ==27.0.0 - Os-brick: <5.2.3, >=6.0.0 <6.1.1, >=6.2.0 <6.2.2 Description ~~~~~~~~~~~ An unauthorized access to a volume could occur when an iSCSI or FC connection from a host is severed due to a volume being unmapped on the storage system and the device is later reused for another volume on the same host. **Scope:** Only deployments with iSCSI or FC volumes are affected. However, the fix for this issue includes a configuration change in Nova and Cinder that may impact you on your next upgrade regardless of what backend storage technology you use. See the *Configuration change* section below, and item 4(B) in the *Patches and Associated Deployment Changes* for details. This data leak can be triggered by two different situations. **Accidental case:** If there is a problem with network connectivity during a normal detach operation, OpenStack may fail to clean the situation up properly. Instead of force-detaching the compute node device, Nova ignores the error, assuming the instance has already been deleted. Due to this incomplete operation OpenStack may end up selecting the wrong multipath device when connecting another volume to an instance. **Intentional case:** A regular user can create an instance with a volume, and then delete the volume attachment directly in Cinder, which neglects to notify Nova. The compute node SCSI plumbing (over iSCSI/FC) will continue trying to connect to the original host/port/LUN, not knowing the attachment has been deleted. If a subsequent volume attachment re-uses the host/port/LUN for a different instance and volume, the original instance will gain access to it once the SCSI plumbing reconnects. Configuration Change -------------------- To prevent the intentional case, the Block Storage API provided by Cinder must only accept attachment delete requests from Nova for instance-attached volumes. A complicating factor is that Nova deletes an attachment by making a call to the Block Storage API on behalf of the user (that is, by passing the user's token), which makes the request indistinguishable from the user making this request directly. The solution is to have Nova include a service token along with the user's token so that Cinder can determine that the detach request is coming from Nova. The ability for Nova to pass a service token has been supported since Ocata, but has not been required until now. Thus, deployments that are not currently sending service user credentials from Nova will need to apply the relevant code changes and also make configuration changes to solve the problem. Patches and Associated Deployment Changes ----------------------------------------- Given the above analysis, a thorough fix must include the following elements: 1. The os-brick library must implement the ``force`` option for fibre channel, which which has only been available for iSCSI until now (covered by the linked patches). 2. Nova must call os-brick with the ``force`` option when disconnecting volumes from deleted instances (covered by the linked patches). 3. In deployments where Glance uses the cinder glance_store driver, glance must call os-brick with the ``force`` option when disconnecting volumes (covered by the linked patches). 4. Cinder must distinguish between safe and unsafe attachment delete requests and reject the unsafe ones. This part of the fix has two components: a. The Block Storage API will return a 409 (Conflict) for a request to delete an attachment if there is an instance currently using the attachment, **unless** the request is being made by a service (for example, Nova) on behalf of a user (covered by the linked patches). b. In order to recognize that a request is being made by a service on behalf of a user, Nova must be configured to send a service token along with the user token. If this configuration change is not made, the cinder change will reject **any** request to delete an attachment associated with a volume that is attached to an instance. Nova must be configured to send a service token to Cinder, and Cinder must be configured to accept service tokens. This is described in the following document and **IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED BY THE LINKED PATCHES:** (Using service tokens to prevent long-running job failures) https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/latest/configuration/block-storage/servic… The Nova patch mentioned in step 2 includes a similar document more focused on Nova: doc/source/admin/configuration/service-user-token.rst 5. The cinder glance_store driver does not attach volumes to instances; instead, it attaches volumes directly to the Glance node. Thus, the Cinder change in step 4 will recognize an attachment-delete request coming from Glance as safe and allow it. (Of course, we expect that you will have applied the patches in steps 1 and 3 to your Glance nodes.) Errata ~~~~~~ An additional nova patch is required to fix a minor regression in periodic tasks and some nova-manage actions (errata 1). Also a patch to tempest is needed to account for behavior changes with fixes in place (errata 2).

[all][tc][vitrage] Final call for Vitrage project maintainers
by Ghanshyam Mann 14 Apr '23

14 Apr '23

Hello Everyone, You might have noticed that the Vitrage project is leaderless in this cycle[1]. Eyal, who was the previous PTL and the only maintainer of this project for more than two years[2], will not be able to continue in this project[3]. We thank and appreciate all previous maintainers' work on this project. This is the final call for maintainers. If anyone is using or interested in this project, this is the right time to step up and let us know in this email or IRC(OFTC) #openstack-tc channel. If there is no response by the end of April 2023, we will discuss the retirement of this project.
