Notes

jdstrand

Per upstream, "A potential mitigation strategy available for operators is to change the glance policy to restrict access to administrators for get_image_location, set_image_location, and delete_image_location." Ubuntu 12.04 LTS not affected (does not have V2 API) preliminary packages for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and 14.10 can be found in: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security-proposed/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages
