Bug Description

Description
===========
In case of a failed evacuation attempt the status of the migration is 'accepted' instead of 'failed' so when source compute is recovered the compute manager tries to delete the instance from the source host. However a secondary fault prevents deleting the allocation in placement so the actual deletion of the instance fails as well.

Steps to reproduce
==================
The following functional test reproduces the bug: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/498482/
What it does: initiate evacuation when no valid host is available and evacuation fails, but nova manager still tries to delete the instance.

Somewhere in the evacuate cleanup flow on the source host once it comes back up, we should be comparing local instances and their instance.host to the current host and if they are the same, we shouldn't consider them evacuated. I don't see that happening anywhere though.

Matt Riedemann (mriedem) wrote :

I'm also not sure why the _destroy_evacuated_instances method in the ComputeManager is including 'accepted' migrations, since that is set in the API when the migration record is created and doesn't mean the migration is done.

Looking at the functional recreate patch https://review.openstack.org/#/c/498482/, one way this could happen is that conductor fails to find a host and the migration record is never set to failed or error. It still seems odd that we don't filter the instance.host != self.host in the compute _destroy_evacuated_instances method.

Revision history for this message
Matt Riedemann (mriedem) wrote :

It looks like the _destroy_evacuated_instances method in the compute manager has always filtered migrations on the 'accepted' status since originally this code was just meant to cleanup local resources once an evacuation from the source host has started, which is fine. The problem is with removing the source node allocations if the evacuation failed, but if it failed in the conductor, we can fix that here:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/499237/

If it failed in the destination compute service, the migration status should be set to 'failed' and the migration filter in _destroy_evacuated_instances would filter it out.

I've marked this as a potential security issue. If conductor fails to find a host for the evacuation, the migration record status is left in 'accepted' state and the compute service on the source node, if brought back up, will delete the guest from the source node because of this method pulling in 'accepted' state migration records:

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/16.0.0.0rc2/nova/compute/manager.py#L624

The guest is destroyed here:

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/16.0.0.0rc2/nova/compute/manager.py#L668

And this code goes back to at least Newton.

Matt Riedemann (mriedem) wrote :

We could maybe argue that if the source node is down, the guest is already down, but it's at least not deleted.

Also note that by default, evacuate is an admin-only operation, but is configurable via policy.

Sean Dague (sdague) wrote :

I'm really not clear why this is a security issue.

We're talking about evacuation, which is an admin action.

And the potential issue is the delete of a guest incorrectly.

Regular users can't trigger this (unless the admin gave them pretty broad privs, which have way other security issues). They aren't getting access to sensitive information. The worst case is a loss of information. Which in a cloud environment is not super unexpected.

I tend to agree with Sean, admin action based security issue are usually classed as type C1 (Not a vulnerability, just a bug with (some) security implications) according to VMT's taxonomy.

I've subscribed nova-coresec to double check the impact.

    Functional test for regression bug #1713783

    Add functional test for evacuation, when no valid host available.
    Migration should end up in 'error' state.

    Original patch is modified as in Ocata os-service API still uses
    the old way of identifing services.

    Also, due to bugfix of #1744325 the state of the server after a
    failed evacuation is no longer ACTIVE rather ERROR.

Set error state after failed evacuation

When evacuation fails with NoValidHost, the migration status remains
'accepted' instead of 'error'. This causes problem in case the compute
service starts up again and looks for evacuations with status 'accepted',
as it then removes the local instances for those evacuations even though
the instance was never actually evacuated to another host.
