Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
A race-condition flaw was discovered in the OpenStack Image service (glance). When images in the upload state were deleted using a token close to expiration, untracked image data could accumulate in the back end. Because untracked data does not count towards the storage quota, an attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service through resource exhaustion.

Description Adam Mariš 2015-09-30 09:10:08 UTC 
A vulnerability in openstack-glance allowing malicous user to cause DoS was reported. By deleting images that are being uploaded using a token that is about to expire, a malicious user can overcome the storage quota and accumulate untracked image data in the backend resulting in potential resource exhaustion and denial of service. All Glance setups using the V1 API are affected and all setups using the V2 API with the registry db_api enabled are affected.

Affects: <=2014.2.3, >=2015.1.0, <=2015.1.1

Martin, attachments were correct, it just that this need an extra set of patch to fully address this CVE.

Hi, I think we are missing BZs for OSP5/OSP6/OSP7 ?

Ah, ok, I thought the ones you linked to were meant to replace the old ones.
