What is CVE-2015-5286?

The OpenStack Image Service (Glance) is susceptible to a vulnerability that allows remote authenticated users to bypass storage quotas. This occurs during the image upload process, where the token used can expire, enabling the deletion of images that are still being uploaded. This flaw stems from an incomplete fix for a prior vulnerability, leading to potential denial of service through excessive disk consumption.
