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.
