Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1685-01
Posted Oct 22, 2014
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1685-01 - OpenStack Image service provides discovery, registration, and delivery services for disk and server images. It provides the ability to copy or snapshot a server image, and immediately store it away. Stored images can be used as a template to get new servers up and running quickly and more consistently than installing a server operating system and individually configuring additional services. It was discovered that the image_size_cap configuration option in glance was not honored. An authenticated user could use this flaw to upload an image to glance and consume all available storage space, resulting in a denial of service.
