Title:
  [OSSA 2015-011] Format-guessing and file disclosure in image convert

Bug description:
  Cinder does not provide input format to several calls of "qemu-img
  convert". This allows the attacker to play the format guessing by
  providing a volume with a qcow2 signature. If this signature contains
  a base file, this file will be read by a process running as root and
  embedded in the output. This bug is similar to CVE-2013-1922.

  Tested with: lvm backed volume storage, it may apply to others as well
  Steps to reproduce:
  - create volume and attach to vm,
  - create a qcow2 signature with base-file[1] from within the vm and
  - trigger upload to glance with "cinder upload-to-image --disk-type qcow2"[2].
  The image uploaded to glance will have /etc/passwd from the cinder-volume host embedded.
  Affected versions: tested on 2014.1.3, found while reading 2014.2.1

  Fix: Always specify both input "-f" and output format "-O" to "qemu-
  img convert". The code is in module cinder.image.image_utils.

  [1]: qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b /etc/passwd /dev/vdb
  [2]: The disk-type != raw triggers the use of "qemu-img convert"
