[OSSA-2024-003] OpenStack Ironic: Unvalidated image data passed to qemu-img (CVE-2024-44082)
by Brian Rosmaita 04 Sep '24

04 Sep '24

======================================================== OSSA-2024-003: Unvalidated image data passed to qemu-img ======================================================== :Date: September 04, 2024 :CVE: CVE-2024-44082 Affects ~~~~~~~ - Ironic: <21.4.3, >=22.0.0 <23.0.2, >=23.1.0 <24.1.2, >=25.0.0 <26.0.1 - Ironic-python-agent: <9.4.2, >=9.5.0 <9.7.1, >=9.8.0 <9.11.1, >=9.12.0 <9.13.1 Description ~~~~~~~~~~~ Dan Smith and Julia Kreger of Red Hat and Jay Faulkner of G-Research noticed a vulnerability in image processing for Ironic, in which a specially crafted image could be used by an authenticated user to exploit undesired behaviors in qemu-img, including possible unauthorized access to potentially sensitive data. Mitigation ---------- The attached patches contain code allowing Ironic and the Ironic-Python-Agent (IPA) to pre-screen images before passing them to qemu-img. You should patch both of them because in some popular deployment configurations, it is possible for images to bypass the Ironic conductor for more efficient image downloads. In situations where it is not possible to patch IPA, there is a new configuration option, ``[conductor]conductor_always_validates_images``. When this option is True, all image downloads are forced to occur through the Ironic conductor, where they are validated. However, this may incur a significant performance hit; hence our recommendation to patch both Ironic and IPA. Patches are available for both Ironic and IPA for all maintained branches, namely, the Dalmatian development branch (current master) through Antelope. For these branches, ``conductor_always_validates_images`` defaults to False. For the unmaintained branches (Zed through Victoria), patches are not available for IPA due to a significant risk of regressions. For these branches, the Ironic patches set ``conductor_always_validates_images`` to True, as this is the only safe way to run Ironic with an un-patched IPA. Cached images ------------- Images in the Ironic image cache should be purged. To purge the cache, stop the Ironic conductor and remove the files in the ``[pxe]/instance_master_path`` directory on that conductor node. Supported image formats ----------------------- A new configuration option, ``[conductor]permitted_image_formats`` controls what image formats will be accepted by Ironic. By default, the allowed formats are 'raw' and 'qcow2', which are the only formats that Ironic is tested with. In previous releases, it was possible to use images of other, unsupported formats with Ironic, but this is now blocked by default due to security issues arising from the image conversion process. It is possible, though not recommended, to expand the list of permitted formats. Alternatively, users requiring the use of an image in an unsupported format can convert the image offline into a supported format before uploading the image to Glance or otherwise making the image available to Ironic. Consult the Ironic documentation for details. Warning ------- As is well-documented, the OpenStack Ironic project does not support the use of ironic-lib for non-Ironic use cases. In its normal supported context, ironic-lib assumes that images have been pre-screened before ironic-lib comes in contact with them. Thus, unsupported use of ironic-lib leaves you vulnerable to the exploit outlined in this OSSA. The Ironic project intends eventually to explicitly remove the vulnerable methods in ironic-lib, but reminds the reader that independent use of ironic-lib is not supported. Bugfix branches --------------- Patches are available for maintained bugfix branches. These patches will be merged to the maintained branches, but no new releases will be triggered from those branches. Patches ~~~~~~~ - https://review.opendev.org/927972 (2023.1/antelope(ironic)) - https://review.opendev.org/927979 (2023.1/antelope(ironic-python-agent)) - https://review.opendev.org/927970 (2023.2/bobcat(ironic)) - https://review.opendev.org/927978 (2023.2/bobcat(ironic-python-agent)) - https://review.opendev.org/927968 (2024.1/caracal(ironic)) - https://review.opendev.org/927976 (2024.1/caracal(ironic-python-agent)) - https://review.opendev.org/927965 (2024.2/dalmatian(ironic)) - https://review.opendev.org/927974 (2024.2/dalmatian(ironic-python-agent)) - https://review.opendev.org/927969 (Bugfix/24.0 (ironic)) - https://review.opendev.org/927967 (Bugfix/25.0 (ironic)) - https://review.opendev.org/927966 (Bugfix/26.0 (ironic)) - https://review.opendev.org/927983 (Bugfix/9.12 (ironic-python-agent)) - https://review.opendev.org/927981 (Bugfix/9.13 (ironic-python-agent)) - https://review.opendev.org/927984 (Bugfix/9.9 (ironic-python-agent)) - https://review.opendev.org/927982 (Unmaintained/victoria(ironic)) - https://review.opendev.org/927980 (Unmaintained/wallaby(ironic)) - https://review.opendev.org/927977 (Unmaintained/xena(ironic)) - https://review.opendev.org/927975 (Unmaintained/yoga(ironic)) - https://review.opendev.org/927973 (Unmaintained/zed(ironic)) Credits ~~~~~~~ - Dan Smith from Red Hat (CVE-2024-44082) - Jay Faulkner from G-Research (CVE-2024-44082) - Julia Kreger from Red Hat (CVE-2024-44082) References ~~~~~~~~~~ - https://launchpad.net/bugs/2071740 - http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2024-44082 Notes ~~~~~ - For more information about the unadvisability of calling 'qemu-img info' on untrusted images, see CVE-2024-04467. - The ironic unmaintained/* branches will receive no point releases, but patches for them are provided as a courtesy. - The ironic-python-agent unmaintained/* branches will receive no point releases, nor are patches for them available. - The ironic and ironic-python-agent bugfix/* branches will receive no point releases, but patches for them are provided as a courtesy. -- Brian Rosmaita OpenStack Vulnerability Management Team https://security.openstack.org/vmt.html

[OSSA-2024-002] OpenStack Nova: Incomplete file access fix and regression for QCOW2 backing files and VMDK flat descriptors (CVE-2024-40767)
by Jeremy Stanley 23 Jul '24

23 Jul '24

================================================================== OSSA-2024-002: Incomplete file access fix and regression for QCOW2 backing files and VMDK flat descriptors ================================================================== :Date: July 23, 2024 :CVE: CVE-2024-40767 Affects ~~~~~~~ - Nova: <27.4.1, >=28.0.0 <28.2.1, >=29.0.0 <29.1.1 Description ~~~~~~~~~~~ Arnaud Morin (OVH) reported a vulnerability in Nova. By supplying a raw format image which is actually a specially crafted QCOW2 image with a backing file path or VMDK flat image with a descriptor file path, an authenticated user may convince systems to return a copy of the referenced file’s contents from the server resulting in unauthorized access to potentially sensitive data. All Nova deployments are affected. Patches ~~~~~~~ - https://review.opendev.org/924734 (2023.1/antelope) - https://review.opendev.org/924733 (2023.2/bobcat) - https://review.opendev.org/924732 (2024.1/caracal) - https://review.opendev.org/924731 (2024.2/dalmatian) Credits ~~~~~~~ - Arnaud Morin from OVH (CVE-2024-40767) References ~~~~~~~~~~ - https://launchpad.net/bugs/2071734 - http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2024-40767 Notes ~~~~~ - The patches linked above should apply cleanly to the public state of their respective branches at time of disclosure, and depend on some commits which merged after the `OSSA-2024-001 <https://security.openstack.org/ossa/OSSA-2024-001.html>`_ fixes as well as the final states of the Nova changes linked from that advisory (those did see some minor adjustments before they merged). - The QCOW2 issue is due to an incomplete fix in OSSA-2024-001 affecting systems where the ``use_cow_images`` configuration option is disabled, while the VMDK issue is a regression of the earlier `OSSA-2023-002 <https://security.openstack.org/ossa/OSSA-2023-002.html>`_ vulnerability reintroduced by the new implementation in OSSA-2024-001. Both problems were identified in the final hours before OSSA-2024-001 publication but, due to time constraints, were redacted from that bug and moved to a separate report. - Neither the methods introduced in these patches nor the fixes for OSSA-2024-001 are capable of blocking malicious images which are already resident in Nova's cache. At this time we do not have useful operator guidance for identifying and removing such existing images from the cache but strongly caution, if you do attempt to use the qemu-img tool to find them, to make sure you're using a version of it patched for `QEMU CVE-2024-4467 <https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2024-4467>`_. -- Jeremy Stanley OpenStack Vulnerability Management Team
