Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0366-01 - OpenStack Compute launches and schedules large networks of virtual machines, creating a redundant and scalable cloud computing platform. Compute provides the software, control panels, and APIs required to orchestrate a cloud, including running virtual machine instances, managing networks, and controlling access through users and projects. A flaw was found in the way the libvirt driver handled short-lived disk back-up files on Compute nodes. An authenticated attacker could use this flaw to create a large number of such files, exhausting all available space on Compute node disks, and potentially causing a denial of service. Note that only Compute setups using the libvirt driver were affected.
