Julia Kreger 0d6b5c9a28 Checksum files before raw conversion
While working another issue, we discovered that support added to
the ironic-conductor process combined the image_download_source
option of "local" with the "force_raw" option resulted in a case
where Ironic had no concept to checksum the files *before* the
conductor process triggered an image format conversion and
then records new checksum values.

In essence, this opened the user requested image file to be
suspetible to a theoretical man-in-the-middle attack OR
the remote server replacing the content with an unknown file,
such as a new major version.

The is at odds with Ironic's security model where we do want to
ensure the end user of ironic is asserting a known checksum for
the image artifact they are deploying, so they are aware of the
present state. Due to the risk, we chose to raise this as a CVE,
as infrastructure operators should likely apply this patch.

As a note, if your *not* forcing all images to be raw format
through the conductor, then this issue is likely not a major
issue for you, but you should still apply the patch.

This is being tracked as CVE-2024-47211.

Overview

Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.
