----------------------------------
Title: Cinder LVMVolumeDriver does not zero deleted snapshots
Reporter: Rongze Zhu
Products: Cinder
Affects: 2012.2 (Grizzly) and later

Description:
Rongze Zhu reported a vulnerability in the Cinder LVM volume driver.
When deleting an LVM volume snapshot the previous contents may not
be zeroed, resulting in potential exposure of latent data to
subsequent servers for other tenants. Only setups using
LVMVolumeDriver are affected.

Everyone: please check that the description is accurate.

Rongze Zhu: do you want us to additionally credit the company you work for (SINA, UnitedStack, anyone)?
