Details

It was discovered that OpenStack Swift incorrectly handled tempurls. A remote authenticated user in possession of a tempurl key authorized for PUT could retrieve other objects in the same Swift account. (CVE-2015-5223)

Romain Le Disez and Örjan Persson discovered that OpenStack Swift incorrectly closed client connections. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2016-0737, CVE-2016-0738)
