"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2013:1197 advisory.

    OpenStack Swift (http://swift.openstack.org) is a highly available,
    distributed, eventually consistent object/blob store.

    A denial of service flaw in OpenStack Swift allowed attackers to fill the
    object server with object tombstones. This could lead to subsequent
    requests from legitimate users taking an excessive amount of time.
    (CVE-2013-4155)

    This issue was discovered by Peter Portante of Red Hat.

    All users of openstack-swift are advised to upgrade to these updated
    packages, which correct this issue. After installing this update, the
    OpenStack Swift services will be restarted automatically.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
