Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 11.10

Summary:

Nova could be made to overwrite or corrupt arbitrary files in the compute host file system.

Software Description: - nova: OpenStack Compute cloud infrastructure

Details:

Padraig Brady discovered that the fix for CVE-2012-3361 was incomplete and an authenticated user could still corrupt arbitrary files on the host running Nova. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
python-nova 2012.1+stable~20120612-3ee026e-0ubuntu1.3

Ubuntu 11.10:
