Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.38% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs OpenStack Nova and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: Within 30 daysRemediation target: Within 180 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

CVE-2026-24708 · CSAF 2.0 · revision 3 · finalRed Hat Product Securityopenstack-nova-compute: Arbitrary Host File Overwrite via Unconstrained qemu-img Format Handling in OpenStack Nova
5 known affected

The vendor explicitly identifies these products as affected by this CVE.

  • rhosp13/openstack-nova-compute as a component of Red Hat OpenStack Platform 13 (Queens)
  • rhosp-rhel8/openstack-nova-compute as a component of Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.2
  • rhosp-rhel8/openstack-nova-compute as a component of Red Hat OpenStack Platform 17.1
  • rhosp-rhel9/openstack-nova-compute as a component of Red Hat OpenStack Platform 17.1
  • rhosp-rhel9/openstack-nova-compute as a component of Red Hat OpenStack Platform 18.0
Summary
A flaw in OpenStack Nova’s interaction with the qemu-img utility allows an authenticated user to overwrite arbitrary files on the compute host. This occurs because Nova invokes qemu-img without strictly constraining the disk image format, enabling a malicious user to craft a QCOW2 header on a raw disk and trigger destructive behavior during instance operations such as resize.

No EUVD known-exploited evidence

An issue was discovered in OpenStack Nova before 30.2.2, 31 before 31.2.1, and 32 before 32.1.1. By writing a malicious QCOW header to a root or ephemeral disk and then triggering a resize, a user may convince Nova's Flat image backend to call qemu-img without a format restriction, resulting in an unsafe image resize operation that could destroy data on the host system. Only compute nodes using the Flat image backend (usually configured with use_cow_images=False) are affected.

What, why and how

An issue was discovered in OpenStack Nova before 30.2.2, 31 before 31.2.1, and 32 before 32.1.1. By writing a malicious QCOW header to a root or ephemeral disk and then triggering a resize, a user may convince Nova's Flat image backend to call qemu-img without a format restriction, resulting in an unsafe image resize operation that could destroy data on the host system. Only compute nodes using the Flat image backend (usually configured with use_cow_images=False) are affected.

By writing a malicious QCOW header to a root or ephemeral disk and then triggering a resize, a user may convince Nova's Flat image backend to call qemu-img without a format restriction, resulting in an unsafe image resize operation that could destroy data on the host system. Only compute nodes using the Flat image backend (usually configured with use_cow_images=False) are affected.

Why

The product does not properly transfer a resource/behavior to another sphere, or improperly imports a resource/behavior from another sphere, in a manner that provides unintended control over that resource.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
a network path → Incorrect Resource Transfer Between Spheres → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

CWE-669 ↗

CWE-669: Incorrect Resource Transfer Between Spheres. The product does not properly transfer a resource/behavior to another sphere, or improperly imports a resource/behavior from another sphere, in a manner that provides unintended control over that resource.
