Title:
  Command execution cases need to be strengthened

Status in Cinder:
  In Progress
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Grant Murphy from Red Hat Product Security Team reports the following
  potential vulnerability:

  For the most part OpenStack seems to do command execution safely using
  subprocess.Popen. There are two instances where things become a little
  dubious. The first is when shell=True is used with subprocess. This
  doesn't prevent arguments being supplied that allow for multiple
  commands to be executed. e.g. '; cat /etc/passwd'. The second case is
  where commands are made to an external ssh host.

  See attached file for a lit of potential injections: we should double-
  check them (even if I expect most of them to turn false positive)
