Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-3289 is a storage exhaustion flaw in OpenStack Glance. An authenticated remote user could cause deleted imported images to leave data behind, gradually consuming backend disk space and disrupting image service availability. Exposure is mainly OpenStack environments running Glance before 2015.1.1 with authenticated user access to image import functionality. Public internet exposure is not required if tenant or API users can reach Glance. Treat as a moderate availability risk for older OpenStack clouds. Prioritize remediation where Glance serves multiple tenants or where backend image storage exhaustion would affect production workloads. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Glance to 2015.1.1 or later where applicable.; Review the OpenStack OSSA advisory for vendor-specific remediation guidance.; Restrict Glance image import permissions to trusted users..
