When doing a live snapshot, the libvirt driver creates an intermediate qcow2 file with the same backing file as the original disk. However, it calls qemu-img info without specifying the input format explicitly. An authenticated user can write data to a raw disk which will cause this code to misinterpret the disk as a qcow2 file with a user-specified backing file on the host, and return an arbitrary host file as the backing file. This bug does not appear to result in a data leak in this case, but this is hard to verify. It certainly results in corrupt output. Closes-Bug: #1524274 Change-Id: I11485f077d28f4e97529a691e55e3e3c0bea8872 |

OpenStack Nova README
OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of virtualization technologies, including KVM, Xen, LXC, VMware, and more. In addition to its native API, it includes compatibility with the commonly encountered Amazon EC2 and S3 APIs.
OpenStack Nova is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.
Nova primarily consists of a set of Python daemons, though it requires and integrates with a number of native system components for databases, messaging and virtualization capabilities.
To keep updated with new developments in the OpenStack project follow @openstack on Twitter.

For information about the different compute (hypervisor) drivers supported by Nova, read this page on the wiki:
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:
