> Description
> ~~~~~~~~~~~
> Richard W.M. Jones of Red Hat reported a vulnerability that affects
> OpenStack Cinder, Glance and Nova. By providing a maliciously
> crafted disk image an attacker can consume considerable amounts of
> RAM and CPU time resulting in a denial of service via resource
> exhaustion. Any project which makes calls to qemu-img without
> appropriate ulimit restrictions in place is affected by this flaw.
