Does this seem like a reasonable / correct impact description for this:

Title: Potential Xen connection password leak via StorageError
Reporter: Matt Riedemann (IBM)
Products: Nova
Affects: >= 2014.2 <= 2015.1.2, ==12.0.0

Description:
Mat Riedemann from IBM reported a information disclosure vulnerability
in Nova. If a StorageError occurs when attempting to connect a volume
using the Xen API, the connection parameters will be logged. These
parameters may include credentials which are not masked. An attacker
with read access to Nova logs could use these credentials with the
Xen API directly. Only Nova setups using the Xen backend are affected
by this flaw.
