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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-5356 lets an authenticated OpenStack Glance user consume excessive disk space by uploading oversized images through the V2 API. The business impact is service disruption: image storage can fill, blocking image operations and potentially affecting cloud provisioning. Exposure is likely limited to legacy OpenStack environments running affected Glance versions with the V2 API enabled and users allowed to upload images. Public internet exposure is not required, but any authenticated tenant or user with upload rights may be relevant. Prioritize remediation for any production OpenStack cloud still running affected Glance releases. This is not a known actively exploited issue from the provided evidence, but authenticated misuse could interrupt provisioning and cloud operations. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Glance to 2013.2.4, 2014.1.3, Juno-3, or vendor-fixed packages.; Review Ubuntu and Red Hat advisories for distribution-specific package guidance.; Restrict Glance image upload permissions to trusted users where possible..
