Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2016:2815 advisory.

Red Hat Ceph Storage is a scalable, open, software-defined storage platform that combines the most stable version of the Ceph storage system with a Ceph management platform, deployment utilities, and support services.

The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: ceph (10.2.3), ceph-deploy (1.5.36), calamari-server (1.4.9), nfs-ganesha (2.4.0), ceph-iscsi-config (1.5), libntirpc (1.4.1), ceph- iscsi-tools (1.1). (BZ#1340004, BZ#1349999)

Security Fix(es):

* A flaw was found in the way Ceph Object Gateway handles POST object requests. An authenticated attacker could launch a denial of service attack by sending null or specially crafted POST object requests.
(CVE-2016-8626)

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Ceph Storage 2.1 Release Notes available at:
