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. Closes-Bug: 2076289 Change-Id: Id6185b317aa6e4f4363ee49f77e688701995323a Signed-off-by: Julia Kreger <juliaashleykreger@gmail.com> |

Team and repository tags
Overview
Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.
Ironic is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.
