Security readout for executives and security teams
oVirt could fail to fully clear data from a removed VM disk when specific disk options were used. If those storage blocks were later reused for another VM, a privileged user in that VM could see leftover sensitive data from the prior VM. Exposure is limited to oVirt 4.1.x before 4.1.9 using the affected disk flag combination. Risk is higher in shared or multi-tenant virtualization environments where storage blocks are reused across VMs. Prioritize remediation for shared virtualization platforms, especially where different users, teams, or tenants share storage. This is not described as remotely exploitable, but it can undermine data separation guarantees. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected oVirt 4.1.x deployments to 4.1.9 or later where applicable.; Review Red Hat advisory RHBA-2018:0135 for vendor-specific remediation guidance.; Identify VM disks using both Enable Discard and Wipe After Delete..

Improper Removal of Sensitive Information Before Storage or Transfer
Improper Removal of Sensitive Information Before Storage or Transfer represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
