SCA: security update for nova (GHSA-w2wf-cgwh-vpqg)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 432875

Description

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

 - In OpenStack Nova through 14.0.9, 15.x through 15.0.7, and 16.x through 16.0.2, by rebuilding an instance,
 an authenticated user may be able to circumvent the Filter Scheduler bypassing imposed filters (for
 example, the ImagePropertiesFilter or the IsolatedHostsFilter). All setups using Nova Filter Scheduler are
 affected. Because of the regression described in Launchpad Bug #1732947, the preferred fix is a 14.x
 version after 14.0.10, a 15.x version after 15.0.8, or a 16.x version after 16.0.3. (CVE-2017-16239)
