NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nova package and not the nova package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

OpenStack Compute (Nova) Folsom, Grizzly, and Havana does not properly verify the virtual size of a QCOW2 image, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (host file system disk consumption) via a compressed QCOW2 image. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-2096.
