 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3873-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Thomas Goirand September 05, 2024 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : nova Version : 2:22.4.0-1~deb11u5 CVE ID : CVE-2024-32498 CVE-2024-40767 Debian Bug : 1074762

 Martin Kaesberger discovered a vulnerability which affects multiple OpenStack components (Nova, Glance and Cinder): Malformed QCOW2 disk images may result in the disclosure of arbitrary files.

 Arnaud Morin later discovered that the initial fix was not sufficient, and that nova was still vulnerable with some VM images types.

 For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 2:22.4.0-1~deb11u5.

 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 these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the nova-api packages.
