The libvirt file system storage driver determines what file to
act on by concatenating the pool location with the volume name.
If a user is able to pick names like "../../../etc/passwd", then
they can escape the bounds of the pool. For that matter,
virStoragePoolListVolumes() doesn't descend into subdirectories,
so a user really shouldn't use a name with a slash.
Normally, only privileged users can coerce libvirt into creating
or opening existing files using the virStorageVol APIs; and such
users already have full privilege to create any domain XML (so it
is not an escalation of privilege). But in the case of
fine-grained ACLs, it is feasible that a user can be granted
storage_vol:create but not domain:write, and it violates
assumptions if such a user can abuse libvirt to access files
outside of the storage pool.
Therefore, prevent all use of volume names that contain "/",
whether or not such a name is actually attempting to escape the
pool.
This changes things from:
$ virsh vol-create-as default ../../../../../../etc/haha --capacity 128
Vol ../../../../../../etc/haha created
$ rm /etc/haha
to:
$ virsh vol-create-as default ../../../../../../etc/haha --capacity 128
error: Failed to create vol ../../../../../../etc/haha
error: Requested operation is not valid: volume name '../../../../../../etc/haha' cannot contain '/'

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
