Description

The Gluster file system through versions 4.1.4 and 3.1.2 is vulnerable to a denial of service attack via use of the 'GF_XATTR_IOSTATS_DUMP_KEY' xattr. A remote, authenticated attacker could exploit this by mounting a Gluster volume and repeatedly calling 'setxattr(2)' to trigger a state dump and create an arbitrary number of files in the server's runtime directory.

Affected configurations

• redhat gluster file system (>= 3.0.0 <= 3.1.2) • redhat gluster file system (>= 4.1.0 <= 4.1.4) • debian debian linux 8.0 • debian debian linux 9.0 • redhat enterprise linux server 6.0 • redhat enterprise linux server 7.0 • redhat virtualization 4.0 • redhat virtualization host 4.0
