Affects

Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
Abhishek Kekane from NTT and Mike Fedosin from Mirantis reported a
vulnerability in the Glance import task. By creating numerous images
using the task API and deleting them, an authenticated attacker may

resource exhaustion and denial of service. All glance setups using API
v2 are affected.
