Rajaneesh Singh discovered Swift does not properly enforce metadata limits. An attacker could abuse this issue to store more metadata than allowed by policy. (CVE-2014-7960)
Clay Gerrard discovered Swift allowed users to delete the latest version of object regardless of object permissions when allow_version is configured. An attacker could use this issue to delete objects.
(CVE-2015-1856).
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
