Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-3447 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- nova (PyPI): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- nova (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 12.0.0\n- nova (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 12.0.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-3447/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-3447/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-3447","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-3447/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-3447","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2012-3447","GHSA-xc4g-7vw8-924h","PYSEC-2012-21"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenStack Compute","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks in OpenStack Compute, potentially leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"folsom","vendor":"openstack"},{"product":"nova","vendor":"openstack"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"virt/disk/api.py in OpenStack Compute (Nova) 2012.1.x before 2012.1.2 and Folsom before Folsom-3 allows remote authenticated users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file in an image that uses a symlink that is only readable by root.
