gluster-swift is vulnerable to authorization bypass. A flaw was found in the metadata constraints in Red Hat Gluster Storage’s OpenStack Object Storage (swiftonfile). By adding metadata in several separate calls, a malicious user could bypass the max_meta_count
constraint, and store more metadata than allowed by the configuration.
