This is an advance warning of a vulnerability discovered in
OpenStack, to give you, as downstream stakeholders, a chance to
coordinate the release of fixes and reduce the vulnerability window.
Please treat the following information as confidential until the
proposed public disclosure date.

Title: Arbitrary file access through custom VMDK flat descriptor
Reporter: Guillaume Espanel, Pierre Libeau, Arnaud Morin and Damien
Rannou (OVH)
Products: Cinder, Glance, Nova
Affects: Cinder <19.1.2, >=20.0.0 <20.0.2, ==21.0.0;
Glance <23.0.1, >=24.0.0 <24.1.1, ==25.0.0;
Nova <24.1.2, >=25.0.0 <25.0.2, ==26.0.0

Description:
Guillaume Espanel, Pierre Libeau, Arnaud Morin and Damien Rannou
(OVH) reported a vulnerability in VMDK image processing for Cinder,
Glance and Nova. By supplying a specially created VMDK flat image
which 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. All Cinder deployments are affected; only Glance deployments
with image conversion enabled are affected; all Nova deployments are
affected.

Proposed patch:
See attached patches. Unless a flaw is discovered in them, these
patches will be merged to their corresponding branches on the public
disclosure date. Note that stable/wallaby and older branches are
under extended maintenance and will receive no new point releases,
but patches for some of them are provided as a courtesy.

CVE: CVE-2022-47951

Proposed public disclosure date/time:
2023-01-24, 1500UTC
Please do not make the issue public (or release public patches)
before this coordinated embargo date.
