The instance rescue mode in OpenStack Compute (Nova) 2013.2 before 2013.2.3 and Icehouse before 2014.1, when using libvirt to spawn images and use_cow_images is set to false, allows remote authenticated users to read certain compute host files by overwriting an instance disk with a crafted image.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy OpenStack Nova issue where an authenticated cloud user could abuse instance rescue mode to read some files from a compute host. Exposure is limited to specific Nova versions and configurations, but host file disclosure in shared cloud infrastructure can carry serious tenant and platform risk. Likely exposure is older OpenStack Nova deployments using libvirt, rescue mode, and use_cow_images=false. The source bundle does not identify affected products beyond OpenStack Compute Nova or supported downstream package status except the Ubuntu advisory reference. Prioritize remediation for any multi-tenant or externally accessible OpenStack cloud still running the affected legacy Nova versions. The issue is not known exploited from the supplied sources, but host data exposure can create high business impact if the vulnerable configuration exists. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Nova to 2013.2.3, Icehouse 2014.1, or later supported vendor packages.; Review Ubuntu USN-2247-1 if using Ubuntu-packaged OpenStack Nova.; Avoid use_cow_images=false where compatible and supported by vendor guidance..
