Detail

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

- Ubuntu 12.10 - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 11.10

Summary:

Nova volume could be made to expose volumes from other users.

Software Description: - nova: OpenStack Compute cloud infrastructure

Details:

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 12.10:
nova-volume 2012.2.1+stable-20121212-a99a802e-0ubuntu1.1
python-nova 2012.2.1+stable-20121212-a99a802e-0ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
nova-volume 2012.1.3+stable-20120827-4d2a4afe-0ubuntu1.1
python-nova 2012.1.3+stable-20120827-4d2a4afe-0ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 11.10:
nova-volume 2011.3-0ubuntu6.11
python-nova 2011.3-0ubuntu6.11

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
