CVE-2015-5313: storage: don't allow '/' in filesystem volume names
The libvirt file system storage driver determines what file to act on by concatenating the pool location with the volume name. If a user is able to pick names like "../../../etc/passwd", then they can escape the bounds of the pool. For that matter, virStoragePoolListVolumes() doesn't descend into subdirectories, so a user really shouldn't use a name with a slash. Normally, only privileged users can coerce libvirt into creating or opening existing files using the virStorageVol APIs; and such users already have full privilege to create any domain XML (so it is not an escalation of privilege). But in the case of fine-grained ACLs, it is feasible that a user can be granted storage_vol:create but not domain:write, and it violates assumptions if such a user can abuse libvirt to access files outside of the storage pool. Therefore, prevent all use of volume names that contain "/", whether or not such a name is actually attempting to escape the pool. This changes things from: $ virsh vol-create-as default ../../../../../../etc/haha --capacity 128 Vol ../../../../../../etc/haha created $ rm /etc/haha to: $ virsh vol-create-as default ../../../../../../etc/haha --capacity 128 error: Failed to create vol ../../../../../../etc/haha error: Requested operation is not valid: volume name '../../../../../../etc/haha' cannot contain '/' Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> (cherry picked from commit 034e47c338b13a95cf02106a3af912c1c5f818d7)

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed. Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
