I should mention that performing input validation on
get_pty_for_instance() and dropping privileges would be enough to
'solve' the immediate issues with nova's use of socat, but the other
suggestions are for future-proofing against the new (and presumably
rapidly changing) nova codebase and for ensuring that we are protected
from problems not found in this shallow security audit.
