Description Laura Pardo 2018-08-02 13:58:52 EDT 
A flaw was found in Gluster 3.12.11 and 3.12.12 FUSE client. The fsync(2) system call appears to directly or indirectly leak memory in "gf_common_mt_memdup" and "gf_common_mt_char" functions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerablity to perform a Denial of Service attack.

Comment 2 Doran Moppert 2018-08-15 22:06:21 EDT 
This memory leak does not appear to be reproducible on glusterfs-3.8.x.  The FUSE interface changed significantly between 3.8 and 3.12.
