Description Eric Harney 2016-10-10 14:51:51 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1383415 +++

Security fixes in Nova, Cinder, and Glance require support for prlimit in oslo.concurrency.

The following changes need to be backported:

d65d931 processutils: add support for missing process limits
e33f64f Add prlimit parameter to execute()
Comment 1 Victor Stinner 2016-10-14 13:52:56 UTC 
Note: python-oslo-concurrency-1.8.2-2.el7ost is the same package for OSP 6 and OSP 7, since both OSP versions are based on oslo.concurrency 1.8.2.
Comment 3 Lon Hohberger 2016-10-31 16:01:01 UTC 
python-oslo-concurrency was NOT shipped in RHEL OSP 6.
Comment 5 Lon Hohberger 2016-10-31 16:03:10 UTC 
What is the expected outcome here?  There's no python-oslo-concurrency package in RHEL OSP 6.
Comment 6 Eric Harney 2016-10-31 17:08:14 UTC 
I misreported this bug against OSP6, nothing is needed here.
