+Subject: [PATCH] fix: Don't attempt to identify non-x86 OpenStack instances
+
+This causes cloud-init to attempt to reach out to the OpenStack Nova
+datasource in non-Nova deployments on non-x86 architectures.
+
+Change default policy of ds-identify to disallow discovery of datasources
+without strict identifiable artifacts in either kernel cmdline, DMI
+platform information or system configuration files. This prevents
+cloud-init from attempting to reach out to well-known hard-codded link-local
+IP addresses for configuration information unless the platform strictly
+identifies as a specific datasource.
+
+CVE-2024-6174
+LP: #2069607
+BREAKING_CHANGE: This may break non-x86 OpenStack Nova users. Affected users
+    may wish to use ConfigDrive as a workaround.
+
+CVE: CVE-2024-6174
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/commit/f43937f0b462734eb9c76700491c18fe4133c8e1]
