Comment 1 Siddharth Sharma 2016-10-27 03:26:22 EDT
Workaround:

1. By default system will use /etc/init.d/ceph-radosgw
   stop this service by

~]# /etc/init.d/ceph-radosgw stop

2. Create systemd service, change command line params according to the environment
where Ceph radosgw is running.

~]# cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/ceph-rgw.service 
[Unit]
Description=Ceph RGW daemon

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/bin/radosgw -n client.rgw.$(HOSTNAME REDACTED)
Restart=on-abnormal
RestartSec=1s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

3. Run systemd service 'ceph-rgw.service'

Caveat: It still takes +1-2 sec to get service back online. Attacker has to know bucket-name and for that attacker must be authenticated so if service get a lot of such requests user/attacker can be blocked by revoking access to service.
