SCA: security update for nova (GHSA-ffmh-r67w-m88f)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 432883
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- An issue was discovered in OpenStack Nova 15.x through 15.1.0 and 16.x through 16.1.1. By detaching and
reattaching an encrypted volume, an attacker may access the underlying raw volume and corrupt the LUKS
header, resulting in a denial of service attack on the compute host. (The same code error also results in
data loss, but that is not a vulnerability because the user loses their own data.) All Nova setups
supporting encrypted volumes are affected. (CVE-2017-18191)
