An issue was discovered in OpenStack Nova before 17.0.12, 18.x before 18.2.2, and 19.x before 19.0.2. If an API request from an authenticated user ends in a fault condition due to an external exception, details of the underlying environment may be leaked in the response, and could include sensitive configuration or other data.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - An issue was discovered in OpenStack Nova before 17.0.12, 18.x before 18.2.2, and 19.x before 19.0.2. If
    an API request from an authenticated user ends in a fault condition due to an external exception, details
    of the underlying environment may be leaked in the response, and could include sensitive configuration or
    other data. (CVE-2019-14433)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2019:2652 advisory.

    OpenStack Compute (nova) launches and schedules large networks of virtual machines, creating a redundant     and scalable cloud computing platform. Compute provides the software, control panels, and APIs required to     orchestrate a cloud, including running virtual machine instances and controlling access through users and     projects.

    Security Fix(es):

    * openstack-nova: Nova server resource faults leak external exception details (CVE-2019-14433)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page listed in the References section.

    Bug Fix(es):

    * [OSP14] 'hw_vif_model' image metadata property should be ignored for SR-IOV-based VIFs (BZ#1724122)

    * [OSP14] Snapshot image of shelved instance, using rbd backend for glance and nova, remains due to an     exception after unshelving. (BZ#1725708)

    * Before, a REVERT_RESIZE operation could fail if using the iptables_hybrid firewall driver. This would     happen due to Neutron sending the network-vif-plugged external event before Nova starts to listen for it.
    Now, Nova will start listening for network-vif-plugged external event based on the characteristics of the     port. In the case of an OVS hybrid plug, it will start listening before sending the port binding request     to Neutron. (BZ#1730728)

    * [OSP14] Evacuation takes more than 2 hours with 109 instances depending on number of NIC on destination.
    (BZ#1732880)

    Bug Fix(es):

    * Previously, the heal info cache periodic task used the network info cache to heal the network info     cache. If the cache was corrupted or missing, the heal info cache task could not heal the network info     cache.

    With this update, the heal info cache uses VM data from Neutron when healing the network info cache.
    (BZ#1703225)

    * Previously, evacuation, migration, and resize operations took unnecessarily long to process on     destination hosts with a large number of network interfaces. This was due to the my_ip configuration     printing a warning when it did not find any of the host interfaces.

    With this update, the my_ip configuration occurs only once during host initialization. This reduces the     time it takes to process migrations, evacuations, and resize operations. (BZ#1732879)

    Package        : nova     Version        : 2:18.1.0-6+deb10u1     CVE ID         : CVE-2019-14433     Debian Bug     : 934114

    It was found that authenticated users could trigger a fault in Nova, a     cloud computing fabric controller, to cause information leak.

    In addition, this update includes some fixes for volume live migration,     as well as the addition of a /healthcheck URL for monitoring.

    For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version     2:18.1.0-6+deb10u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your nova packages.
