Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0246-01 – OpenStack Image service 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 an authenticated user could use a path traversal flaw in glance to download or delete any file on the glance server that is accessible to the glance process user. Note that only setups using the OpenStack Image V2 API were affected by this flaw.
