Doc Text:
A flaw was found in OpenStack Ironic. An authenticated remote attacker can exploit this issue by supplying a specially crafted configuration drive containing compressed data that expands to an excessively large size. Processing this data can exhaust system memory and storage resources, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-23 03:41:29 UTC
OpenStack Ironic through 39.0.1 allows a denial of service via a configdrive that results in a very large amount of uncompressed data, aka a gzip bomb.
