"text": "OpenStack Image service (glance) provides discovery, registration, and\ndelivery services for disk and server images. It provides the ability to\ncopy or snapshot a server image, and immediately store it away. Stored\nimages can be used as a template to get new servers up and running quickly\nand more consistently than installing a server operating system and\nindividually configuring additional services.\n\nIt was discovered that the image_size_cap configuration option in glance\nwas not honored. An authenticated user could use this flaw to upload an\nimage to glance and consume all available storage space, resulting in a\ndenial of service. (CVE-2014-5356)\n\nThis update also fixes the following bugs:\n\n* Uploading an image to glance that exceeded the user\u0027s current quota\nsetting was rejected, but no message was added to the glance API log to\nindicate this. This update fixes this bug, and such events are now logged\nas INFO messages in the glance API log. (BZ#1055550)\n\n* Whenever the \u0027x-image-meta-store\u0027 header was passed to glance-api, the\nservice would check whether the value was a valid store instead of a valid\nscheme. However, the rest of the store library uses the scheme to identify\nthe store that should be used; this prevented the use of this feature.\nGlance now verifies that the value of \u0027x-image-meta-store\u0027 is a valid\nscheme instead of a valid store name. (BZ#1130622)\n\nAll openstack-glance users are advised to upgrade to these updated\npackages, which correct these issues.",
