[OSSA-2026-002] OpenStack Nova: calls qemu-img without format restrictions for resize (CVE-2026-24708)
by Jeremy Stanley 17 Feb '26

17 Feb '26

========================================================================= OSSA-2026-002: Nova calls qemu-img without format restrictions for resize ========================================================================= :Date: January 17, 2026 :CVE: CVE-2026-24709 Affects ~~~~~~~ - Nova: <30.2.2, >=31.0.0 <31.2.1, >=32.0.0 <32.1.1 Description ~~~~~~~~~~~ Dan Smith from Red Hat reported a vulnerability in nova. By writing a malicious QCOW header to a root or ephemeral disk and then triggering a resize, a user may convince Nova's flat image backend to call qemu-img without a format restriction resulting in an unsafe image resize operation that could destroy data on the host system. Only compute nodes using the Flat image backend (usually configured with use_cow_images=False) are affected.

[CVE-2026-22797] OpenStack keystonemiddleware: Privilege Escalation via Identity Headers in External OAuth2 Tokens (CVE-2026-22797)
by Jeremy Stanley 16 Jan '26

16 Jan '26

==================================================================== OSSA-2026-001: Privilege Escalation via Identity Headers in External OAuth2 Tokens ==================================================================== :Date: January 15, 2026 :CVE: CVE-2026-22797 Affects ~~~~~~~ - Keystonemiddleware: >=10.0.0 <10.7.2, >=10.8.0 <10.9.1, >=10.10.0 <10.12.1 Description ~~~~~~~~~~~ Grzegorz Grasza with Red Hat reported a vulnerability in the external_oauth2_token middleware for keystonemiddleware. This middleware fails to sanitize incoming authentication headers before processing OAuth 2.0 tokens. By sending forged identity headers such as X-Is-Admin-Project, X-Roles, or X-User-Id, an authenticated attacker may escalate privileges or impersonate other users. All deployments using the external_oauth2_token middleware are affected. Patches ~~~~~~~ - https://review.opendev.org/973499 (2024.1/caracal) - https://review.opendev.org/973497 (2024.2/dalmatian) - https://review.opendev.org/973496 (2025.1/epoxy) - https://review.opendev.org/973495 (2025.2/flamingo) - https://review.opendev.org/973494 (2026.1/gazpacho) Credits ~~~~~~~ - Grzegorz Grasza from Red Hat (CVE-2026-22797) References ~~~~~~~~~~ - https://launchpad.net/bugs/2129018 - http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2026-22797 Notes ~~~~~ - The unmaintained/2024.1 branches will receive no new point releases, but patches for them are provided as a courtesy. - This bug was possible because the middleware only conditionally set certain headers (e.g., X-Is-Admin-Project was only set when the token had admin privileges), leaving spoofed values intact when conditions were not met. - The fix adds a call to remove_auth_headers() at the start of request processing to sanitize all incoming identity headers, matching the behavior of the main auth_token middleware. - The external_oauth2_token middleware was introduced in keystonemiddleware 10.0.0. -- Jeremy Stanley OpenStack Vulnerability Management Team https://security.openstack.org/vmt.html

[OSSA-2025-002] OpenStack Keystone: Unauthenticated access to EC2/S3 token endpoints can grant Keystone authorization (CVE PENDING)
by Jeremy Stanley 17 Nov '25

17 Nov '25

========================================================================= OSSA-2025-002: Unauthenticated access to EC2/S3 token endpoints can grant Keystone authorization ========================================================================= :Date: November 04, 2025 :CVE: PENDING Affects ~~~~~~~ - Keystone: <26.0.1, ==27.0.0, ==28.0.0 Description ~~~~~~~~~~~ kay reported a vulnerability in Keystone’s ec2tokens and s3tokens APIs. By sending those endpoints a valid AWS Signature (e.g., from a presigned S3 URL), an unauthenticated attacker may obtain Keystone authorization (ec2tokens can yield a fully scoped token; s3tokens can reveal scope accepted by some services), resulting in unauthorized access and privilege escalation. Deployments where /v3/ec2tokens or /v3/s3tokens are reachable by unauthenticated clients (e.g., exposed on a public API) are affected. Patches ~~~~~~~ - https://review.opendev.org/966073 (2024.2/dalmatian(keystone)) - https://review.opendev.org/966067 (2024.2/dalmatian(swift)) - https://review.opendev.org/966071 (2025.1/epoxy(keystone)) - https://review.opendev.org/966064 (2025.1/epoxy(swift)) - https://review.opendev.org/966070 (2025.2/flamingo(keystone)) - https://review.opendev.org/966063 (2025.2/flamingo(swift)) - https://review.opendev.org/966069 (2026.1/gazpacho(keystone)) - https://review.opendev.org/966062 (2026.1/gazpacho(swift)) Credits ~~~~~~~ - kay (CVE PENDING) References ~~~~~~~~~~ - https://launchpad.net/bugs/2119646 Notes ~~~~~ - While the indicated Keystone patches are sufficient to mitigate this vulnerability, corresponding changes for Swift are included which keep its optional S3-like API working. - MITRE CVE Request 1930434 has been awaiting assignment since 2025-09-24, but once completed will result in an errata revision to this advisory reflecting the correct CVE ID. If any other CNA has assigned a CVE themselves in the meantime, please reject it so that we don't end up with duplicates. -- Jeremy Stanley OpenStack Vulnerability Management Team https://security.openstack.org/vmt.html

OSSN-0094: Ensuring Volume Safety with Nova and Watcher
by Jay Faulkner 20 Aug '25

20 Aug '25

OSSN-0094: Ensuring Volume Safety with Nova and Watcher == Summary == A vulnerability has been identified in OpenStack Nova and OpenStack Watcher in conjunction with volume swap operations performed by the Watcher service. Under specific circumstances, this can lead to a situation where two Nova libvirt instances could reference the same block device, allowing accidental information disclosure to the unauthorized instance. == Affected Services / Software == Services: Nova,Watcher Releases: all supported releases == Discussion == The issue occurs when Watcher's zone migration strategy performs the following sequence of events: 1. Watcher initiates a volume swap using Nova's internal-only volume swap API 2. Watcher initiates a live migration of the same instance 3. In some error cases connection details may have failed to update storage references. These invalid details are used during the live migration. === Required Access === The swap volume, live migration and all Watcher APIs are admin only so with default policy is only possible to create the inconsistent state described in this OSSN if you have admin rights on the relevant OpenStack project. === Further Watcher Hardening === The Watcher service, when first created, often implemented its own means to perform operations. Many of those operations can now be done natively via other OpenStack services. In the specific context of OSSN-0094, the ability to migrate Cinder volumes between storage backends is such an example. Additionally, the Cinder volume migration in Watcher created a new Keystone user with the admin role assigned for the instance owners' project and then used that user to perform API requests on behalf of the project. This code has been removed. Finally, due to limited error handling and no validation that the objects involved were migrated properly, some error scenarios could have led to a source volume being deleted despite not having been migrated properly. === Resolution === Nova will now reject any request to swap a volume that has an empty migration status, effectively restricting the usage of this API to Cinder. This brings the API validation in line with the documentation. Watchers internal implementation of swap volume has been deleted and updated to use Cinder's native volume migration as a replacement. Watcher no longer creates temporary Keystone users in normal operation. === Patches === Patches for Nova and Watcher have been backported to all supported stable branches and committed to master branch. stable/2025.1: * Watcher: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/watcher/+/957770 * Nova: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/957759 stable/2024.2: * Watcher: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/watcher/+/957773 * Nova: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/957762 stable/2024.1: * Watcher: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/watcher/+/957774 * Nova: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/957764 == Recommended Actions == * Operators using Watcher's zone migration strategy should apply the provided Watcher and Nova patches as soon as possible. * Operators should refrain from using the swap volume migration action in Watcher. The compatibility code for swap volume that uses a Cinder-based migration may be removed in a future API version. * Operators should audit all users with the admin role and ensure no temporary Watcher-created users remain. * Operators using custom policy for volume attachment (''/servers/{server_id}/os-volume_attachments/{volume_id}'') or live migration API should review the state of existing instances which have had volume migrations. Any instance in an inconsistent state can be resolved by hard rebooting the instance using Nova's API. == Contacts / References == * Author: Sean Mooney <smooney(a)redhat.com>, Jay Faulkner <jay(a)jvf.cc> * This OSSN : https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OSSN/OSSN-0094 * Original LaunchPad Bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2112187 * Mailing List : [Security] tag on openstack-discuss(a)lists.openstack.org * OpenStack Security Project : https://launchpad.net/~openstack-ossg * CVE: None

[OSSA-2025-001] Ironic fails to restrict paths used for file:// image URLs (CVE-2025-44021)
by Jay Faulkner 08 May '25

08 May '25

========================================================================= OSSA-2025-001: Ironic fails to restrict paths used forfile:// image URLs ========================================================================= :Date: May 08, 2024 :CVE: CVE-2025-44021 Affects ~~~~~~~ - Ironic: <24.1.3, >=25.0.0 <26.1.1, >=27.0.0, <29.0.1 Description ~~~~~~~~~~~ Julia Kreger of Red Hat noticed a vulnerability in image handling for Ironic. A malicious project assigned as a node owner can provide a path to any local file readable by the ironic-conductor which may then be written to the target node disk. This is only possible via deployments performed directly via Ironic's API and cannot be triggered via Nova's virt driver. This is difficult to exploit in practice, as a node deployed in this manner should not ever reach ACTIVE state, but it still represents a danger in environments running with non-default, insecure configurations such as with automated cleaning disabled.

As a courtesy, we have also provided patches for some unmaintained branches and the recently end-of-life 2023.2/bobcat release. As usual, we will provide updated releases off maintained branches, but will not create new releases off bugfix or unmaintained branches.
