Bugzilla:
1549944: CVE-2018-1062 ovirt-engine: When Wipe After Delete (WAD) and Enable Discard are both enabled for a VM disk, discarded data might not be wiped after the disk is removed.
It was discovered that the combination of Enable Discard and Wipe After Delete flags for VM disks managed by oVirt, could cause a disk to be incompletely zeroed when removed from a VM. If the same storage blocks happen to be later allocated to a new disk attached to another VM, potentially sensitive data could be revealed to privileged users of that VM.
