Fedora 23 OpenStack Swift Security Advisory: CVE-2016-0738 Moderate DoS

Crucial patch released for OpenStack Swift in Fedora 23 tackling a denial of service security flaw.
Security fix for CVE-2016-0738

Summary

OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) aggregates commodity servers to work together

in clusters for reliable, redundant, and large-scale storage of static objects.

Objects are written to multiple hardware devices in the data center, with the

OpenStack software responsible for ensuring data replication and integrity

across the cluster. Storage clusters can scale horizontally by adding new nodes,

which are automatically configured. Should a node fail, OpenStack works to

replicate its content from other active nodes. Because OpenStack uses software

logic to ensure data replication and distribution across different devices,

inexpensive commodity hard drives and servers can be used in lieu of more

expensive equipment.
