CVE-2015-1850
Description
A flaw was found in how the OpenStack Compute (nova) service handles the qemu-img functionality during a snapshot upload. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this flaw to trick Compute into disclosing any file to which the Compute service user has access. However, it is unlikely that the code path can currently be exploited by an attacker.
Statement
Red Hat Product Security has rated this issue as having Low security impact in all supported versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform. While this issue is present, we do not believe the code path is currently reachable in an attacker exploitable fashion.
A future update may address this flaw.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
