Glance allows sharing of images between projects without consumer project
|
|
approval
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Summary ###
|
|
Glance allows images to be shared between projects. In certain API versions,
|
|
images can be shared without the consumer project's approval. This allows
|
|
potentially malicious images to show up in a project's image list.
|
|
|
|
### Affected Services / Software ###
|
|
Glance, Image Service, Diablo, Essex, Folsom, Grizzly, Havana
|
|
|
|
### Discussion ###
|
|
Since the OpenStack Diablo release, Glance allows images to be shared between
|
|
projects. To share an image, the producer of the image adds the consumer
|
|
project as a member of the image. When using the Image Service API v1, the
|
|
image producer is able to share an image with a consumer project without their
|
|
approval. This results in the shared image showing up in the image list for the
|
|
consumer project. This can mislead users with roles in the consumer project
|
|
into running a potentially malicious image.
|
|
|
|
The Image Service API v2.0 does not allow image sharing between projects, so a
|
|
project is not susceptible to running unauthorized images shared by other
|
|
projects. The Image Service API v2.1 allows image sharing using a two-step
|
|
process. An image producer must add a consumer as a member of the image, and
|
|
the consumer must accept the shared image before it shows up in their image
|
|
list. This additional approval process allows a consumer to control what images
|
|
show up in their image list, thus preventing potentially malicious images being
|
|
used without the consumers knowledge.
|
|
|
|
### Recommended Actions ###
|
|
In the OpenStack Diablo, Essex, and Folsom releases, Glance supports image
|
|
sharing using the Image Service API v1. There is no way to require approval of
|
|
a shared image by consumer projects. Users should be cautioned to be careful
|
|
when using images from their image list, as they may be using an image that was
|
|
shared with them without their knowledge.
|
|
|
|
In the OpenStack Grizzly and Havana releases, Glance supports the Image Service
|
|
API v2.1 or later. Support is still provided for Image Service API v1, which
|
|
allows image sharing between projects without consumer project approval. It is
|
|
recommended to disable v1 of the Image Service API if possible. This can be
|
|
done by setting the following directive in the glance-api.conf configuration
|
|
file:
|
|
|
|
---- begin example glance-api.conf snippet ----
|
|
enable_v1_api = False
|
|
---- end example glance-api.conf snippet ----
