(CVE-2013-1840)\n\nRed Hat would like to thank the OpenStack project for reporting this issue.\nUpstream acknowledges Stuart McLaren (HP) as the original reporter.\n\nThis update also fixes various bugs in the openstack-glance packages.\n\nAll users of openstack-glance are advised to upgrade to these updated\npackages, which correct these issues. After installing the updated\npackages, the running Glance services must be manually restarted (using\n\"service [service name] restart\") for this update to take effect.",
