From the cinder point of view, keeping in mind the subject of this particular CVE, I think the current patch that uses 'qemu-img info' to detect the presence of the data file is sufficient.

The issue of using 'qemu-img info' at all is a different CVE, and will take more time to address, perhaps with Dan's format inspector approach, or maybe at the qemu-img level (because it's really hard to believe that the 'info' call can't be used safely).
