Checksum files before raw conversion

While working another issue, we discovered that support added to
the ironic-conductor process combined the image_download_source
option of "local" with the "force_raw" option resulted in a case
where Ironic had no concept to checksum the files *before* the
conductor process triggered an image format conversion and
then records new checksum values.

In essence, this opened the user requested image file to be
suspetible to a theoretical man-in-the-middle attack OR
the remote server replacing the content with an unknown file,
such as a new major version.

The is at odds with Ironic's security model where we do want to
ensure the end user of ironic is asserting a known checksum for
the image artifact they are deploying, so they are aware of the
present state. Due to the risk, we chose to raise this as a CVE,
as infrastructure operators should likely apply this patch.

As a note, if your *not* forcing all images to be raw format
through the conductor, then this issue is likely not a major
issue for you, but you should still apply the patch.

This is being tracked as CVE-2024-47211.

+Image Checksums
+===============
+
+Ironic has long provided a capacity to supply and check a checksum for disk
+images being deployed. However, one aspect which Ironic has not asserted is
+"Why?" in terms of "Is it for security?" or "Is it for data integrity?".
+
+The answer is both to ensure a higher level of security with remote
+image files, *and* provide faster feedback should a image being transferred
+happens to be corrupted.
+
+Normally checksums are verified by the ``ironic-python-agent`` **OR** the
+deployment interface responsible for overall deployment operation. That being
+said, not *every* deployment interface relies on disk images which have
+checksums, and those deployment interfaces are for specific use cases which
+Ironic users leverage, outside of the "general" use case capabilities provided
+by the ``direct`` deployment interface.
+
+.. NOTE::
+   Use of the node ``instance_info/image_checksum`` field is discouraged
+   for integrated OpenStack Users as usage of the matching Glance Image
+   Service field is also deprecated. That being said, Ironic retains this
+   feature by popular demand while also enabling also retain simplified
+   operator interaction.
+   The newer field values supported by Glance are also specifically
+   supported by Ironic as ``instance_info/image_os_hash_value`` for
+   checksum values and ``instance_info/image_os_hash_algo`` field for
+   the checksum algorithm.
+
+.. WARNING::
+   Setting a checksum value to a URL is supported, *however* doing this is
+   making a "tradeoff" with security as the remote checksum *can* change.
+   Conductor support this functionality can be disabled using the
+   :oslo.config:option:`conductor.disable_support_for_checksum_files` setting.

+    An issue in Ironic has been resolved where image checksums would not be
+    checked prior to the conversion of an image to a ``raw`` format image from
+    another image format.
+
+    With default settings, this normally would not take place, however the
+    ``image_download_source`` option, which is available to be set at a
+    ``node`` level for a single deployment, by default for that baremetal node
+    in all cases, or via the ``[agent]image_download_source`` configuration
+    option when set to ``local``. By default, this setting is ``http``.
+
+    This was in concert with the ``[DEFAULT]force_raw_images`` when set to
+    ``True``, which caused Ironic to download and convert the file.
+
+    In a fully integrated context of Ironic's use in a larger OpenStack
+    deployment, where images are coming from the Glance image service, the
+    previous pattern was not problematic. The overall issue was introduced as
+    a result of the capability to supply, cache, and convert a disk image
+    provided as a URL by an authenticated user.
+
+    Ironic will now validate the user supplied checksum prior to image
+    conversion on the conductor. This can be disabled using the
+    ``[conductor]disable_file_checksum`` configuration option.
+fixes:
+  - |
+    Fixes a security issue where Ironic would fail to checksum disk image
+    files it downloads when Ironic had been requested to download and convert
+    the image to a raw image format. This required the
+    ``image_download_source`` to be explicitly set to ``local``, which is not
+    the default.
+
+    This fix can be disabled by setting
+    ``[conductor]disable_file_checksum`` to ``True``, however this
+    option will be removed in new major Ironic releases.
+
+    As a result of this, parity has been introduced to align Ironic to
+    Ironic-Python-Agent's support for checksums used by ``standalone``
+    users of Ironic. This includes support for remote checksum files to be
+    supplied by URL, in order to prevent breaking existing users which may
+    have inadvertently been leveraging the prior code path. This support can
+    be disabled by setting
+    ``[conductor]disable_support_for_checksum_files`` to ``True``.
