The disk.info file contains the path and format of any image, config or
ephermal disk associated with an instance. When using RAW images and migrating
an instance this file should always be copied or recreated. This avoids the Raw
imagebackend reinspecting the format of these disks when spawning the instance
on the destination host.
By not copying or recreating this disk.info file, a malicious image written to
an instance disk on the source host will cause Nova to reinspect and record a
different format for the disk on the destination. This format then being used
incorrectly when finally spawning the instance on the destination.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:
Developers should also join the discussion on the mailing list, at:
