Descriptions
virt/disk/api.py in OpenStack Compute (Nova) 2012.1.x before 2012.1.2 and Folsom before Folsom-3 allows remote authenticated users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file in an image that uses a symlink that is only readable by root. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-3361.
virt/disk/api.py en OpenStack Compute (Nova) v2012.1.x antes de v2012.1.2 y Folsom antes de Folsom-3 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados sobreescribir archivos de su elección mediante un ataque de enlaces simbólicos en una imagen que utiliza un enlace simbólico que es sólo legible por el usuario root. NOTA: esta vulnerabilidad se debe a un arreglo incompleto para CVE-2012-3361.
Padraig Brady discovered that the fix for CVE-2012-3361 was incomplete and an authenticated user could still corrupt arbitrary files on the host running Nova. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges.
