OpenStack Image Registry and Delivery Service (Glance) before 2013.2.4, 2014.x before 2014.1.3, and Juno before Juno-3, when using the V2 API, does not properly enforce the image_size_cap configuration option, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) by uploading a large image.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - OpenStack Image Registry and Delivery Service (Glance) before 2013.2.4, 2014.x before 2014.1.3, and Juno
    before Juno-3, when using the V2 API, does not properly enforce the image_size_cap configuration option,
    which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) by uploading a
    large image. (CVE-2014-5356)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2014:1685 advisory.

    OpenStack Image service (glance) provides discovery, registration, and     delivery services for disk and server images. It provides the ability to     copy or snapshot a server image, and immediately store it away. Stored     images can be used as a template to get new servers up and running quickly     and more consistently than installing a server operating system and     individually configuring additional services.

    It was discovered that the image_size_cap configuration option in glance     was not honored. An authenticated user could use this flaw to upload an     image to glance and consume all available storage space, resulting in a     denial of service. (CVE-2014-5356)

    The openstack-glance packages have been upgraded to upstream version     2013.2.4, which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version.
    (BZ#1146089)

    All openstack-glance users are advised to upgrade to these updated     packages, which correct these issues. After installing the updated     packages, the running glance services will be restarted automatically.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
