Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: openstack-swift security update

Notes

Topic
Updated openstack-swift packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat OpenStack 3.0. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.
Details
OpenStack Swift (http://swift.openstack.org) is a highly available, distributed, eventually consistent object/blob store. A denial of service flaw in OpenStack Swift allowed attackers to fill the object server with object tombstones. This could lead to subsequent requests from legitimate users taking an excessive amount of time. (CVE-2013-4155) This issue was discovered by Peter Portante of Red Hat. All users of openstack-swift are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue. After installing this update, the OpenStack Swift services will be restarted automatically.
