Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2322-1 advisory.

 Thomas Leaman and Stuart McLaren discovered that OpenStack Glance did not properly honor the image_size_cap configuration option. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via disk consumption.
