Hi,

Under "normal" circumstances, anyone has access to a VM's metadata. It'd be nice to restrict access to it for only the VM (ie: do not accept forwarding) and only from root. This could be done this way:

iptables -A FORWARD -d 169.254.169.254/32 \
        -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
iptables -A OUTPUT -d 169.254.169.254/32 \
        -m owner ! --uid-owner 0 -j REJECT \
        --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable

Would the team agree to add this by default?

Also, we need to check if only root has access to the config drive.

Your thoughts?

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
