Descriptions

OpenStack Image Registry and Delivery Service (Glance) 2014.2 through 2014.2.2 does not properly remove images, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) by creating a large number of images using the task v2 API and then deleting them, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-9684.

OpenStack Image Registry and Delivery Service (Glance) 2014.2 hasta 2014.2.2 no elimina correctamente las imágenes, lo que permite a usuarios remotos autenticados causar una denegación de servicio (consumo de disco) mediante la creación de un número grande de imágenes al utilizar la API v2 de tareas y posteriormente eliminándolas, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2014-9684.

Multiple flaws were found in the glance task API that could cause untracked image data to be left in the back end. A malicious user could use these flaws to deliberately accumulate untracked image data, and cause a denial of service via resource exhaustion.
