Could we clarify the attacking surface, please ?
From what I see, the nova libvirt driver calls fetch_image() which does the backing file check *before* converting the image, so could we confirm that all environments having compute services configured to use the libvirt driver *aren't* impacted ?

For other convert operations that could be run by Glance, Cinder or nova-computes not using the libvirt driver, I tho totally agree : yes, we can dump any file.
