Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-0128-01 - OpenStack Object Storage provides object storage in virtual containers, which allows users to store and retrieve files. The service's distributed architecture supports horizontal scaling; redundancy as failure-proofing is provided through software-based data replication. Because Object Storage supports asynchronous eventual consistency replication, it is well suited to multiple data-center deployment. A memory-leak issue was found in OpenStack Object Storage, in the proxy-to-server connection. An OpenStack-authenticated attacker could remotely trigger this flaw to cause denial of service through excess memory consumption.
