3. Description:
OpenStack Compute (codename Nova) is open source software designed
to provision and manage large networks of virtual machines,creating a
redundant and scalable cloud computing platform. It gives you the software,
control panels, and APIs required to orchestrate a cloud, including running
instances, managing networks, and controlling access through users and
projects.OpenStack Compute strives to be both hardware and hypervisor
agnostic, currently supporting a variety of standard hardware
configurations and seven major hypervisors.
Security Fix(es):
* novnc allows open redirection (CVE-2021-3654)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
page listed in the References section.
Bug Fix(es):
* Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) does not support the use of a fully
qualified domain name (FQDN) as the instance display name in a boot server
request. The instance display name is passed from the boot server request
to the `instance.hostname` field. Some customers use this unsupported
naming in their workflows.
A recent update [1] now sanitizes the `instance.hostname` field. The
sanitization steps include replacing periods with dashes, a replacement
that makes it impossible to continue using the unsupported FQDN instance
display names.
This update provides a temporary workaround for customers who use a fully
qualified domain name (FQDN) as the instance display name in a boot server
request. It limits the scope of the sanitization to cases where the
instance display name ends with a period followed by one or more numeric
digits.
If you use FQDN as the instance display name in a boot server request,
modify your workflow before upgrading to RHOSP 17. (BZ#2036652)
