Descriptions

The Red Hat gluster-swift package, as used in Red Hat Gluster Storage (formerly Red Hat Storage Server), allows remote authenticated users to bypass the max_meta_count constraint via multiple crafted requests which exceed the limit when combined.

El paquete gluster-swift de Red Hat, tal como se utiliza en Red Hat Gluster Storage (anteriormente Red Hat Storage Server), permite a usuarios remotos autenticados eludir la restricción max_meta_count a través de múltiples peticiones manipuladas que exceden el límite cuando se combinan.

A flaw was found in the metadata constraints in Red Hat Gluster Storage's OpenStack Object Storage (swiftonfile). By adding metadata in several separate calls, a malicious user could bypass the max_meta_count constraint, and store more metadata than allowed by the configuration.
