 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3302-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Utkarsh Gupta January 31, 2023 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

 Package : nova Version : 2:18.1.0-6+deb10u2 CVE ID : CVE-2022-47951 Debian Bug : 1029561

 An issue was discovered in Nova, an OpenStack project that provides a way to provision compute instances (aka virtual servers). By supplying a specially created VMDK flat image that references a specific backing file path, an authenticated user may convince systems to return a copy of that file's contents from the server, resulting in unauthorized access to potentially sensitive data.

 For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 2:18.1.0-6+deb10u2.

 We recommend that you upgrade your nova packages.

 For the detailed security status of nova please refer to its security tracker page at:
 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/nova

 Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the nova-api packages.
