It's also similar to an earlier one specifically referring to qcow files. We currently protect against the backing file of a qcow pointing somewhere, but it looks like this data_file option provides another route to get similar functionality. We will probably need similar mitigations in the same area we currently have them for backing files in nova, glance, and cinder.
