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>

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.
