Since f302bf04 was referenced in the advisory, we may have to send
another ERRATA to include the additional patch. I've added an OSSA task
to keep track of that effort.

** Also affects: ossa
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: ossa
       Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
  [kilo] libvirt block migrations fail due to disk_info being an encoded
  JSON string

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Invalid
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) kilo series:
  In Progress
Status in OpenStack Security Advisory:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The fix for OSSA 2016-007 / CVE-2016-2140 in f302bf04 assumed that
  disk_info is always a plain, decoded list. However prior to Liberty
  when preforming a live block migration the compute manager populates
  disk_info with an encoded JSON string when calling
  self.driver.get_instance_disk_info. In the live migration case without
  block migration disk_info remains a plain decoded list.

  More details with an example trace downstream in the following bug :

  live migration without shared storage fails in pre_live_migration after upgrade to 2015.1.2-18.2
