NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openstack-nova-console package and not the openstack-nova-console package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The image parser in OpenStack Cinder 7.0.2 and 8.0.0 through 8.1.1; Glance before 11.0.1 and 12.0.0; and Nova before 12.0.4 and 13.0.0 does not properly limit qemu-img calls, which might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and disk consumption) via a crafted disk image.
