RHSA-2015:1846 - Moderate: Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.1 update

Synopsis

Moderate: Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.1 update

Type/Severity

Security Advisory Moderate

Topic

Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.1 Update 1, which fixes one security issue, several bugs, and adds various enhancements, is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

Description

Red Hat Gluster Storage is a software only scale-out storage solution that provides flexible and affordable unstructured data storage. It unifies data storage and infrastructure, increases performance, and improves availability and manageability to meet enterprise-level storage challenges.

Red Hat Gluster Storage's Unified File and Object Storage is built on OpenStack's Object Storage (swift).

A flaw was found in the metadata constraints in Red Hat Gluster Storage's OpenStack Object Storage (swiftonfile). By adding metadata in several separate calls, a malicious user could bypass the max_meta_count constraint, and store more metadata than allowed by the configuration. (CVE-2014-8177)

This update also fixes numerous bugs and adds various enhancements. Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users are directed to the Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.1 Technical Notes, linked to in the References section, for information on the most significant of these changes.

This advisory introduces the following new features:

  • Gdeploy is a tool which automates the process of creating, formatting, and mounting bricks. When setting up a fresh cluster, gdeploy could be the preferred choice of cluster set up, as manually executing numerous commands can be error prone. The advantages of using gdeploy includes automated brick creation, flexibility in choosing the drives to configure (sd, vd, etc.), and flexibility in naming the logical volumes (LV) and volume groups (VG). (BZ#1248899)

  • The gstatus command is now fully supported. The gstatus command provides an easy-to-use, high-level view of the health of a trusted storage pool with a single command. It gathers information about the health of a Red Hat Gluster Storage trusted storage pool for distributed, replicated, distributed-replicated, dispersed, and distributed-dispersed volumes. (BZ#1250453)

  • You can now recover a bad file detected by BitRot from a replicated volume. The information about the bad file will be logged in the scrubber log file located at /var/log/glusterfs/scrub.log. (BZ#1238171)

  • Two tailored tuned profiles are introduced to improve the performance for specific Red Hat Gluster Storage workloads. They are: rhgs-sequential-io, which improves performance of large files with sequential I/O workloads, and rhgs-random-io, which improves performance of small files with random I/O workloads (BZ# 1251360)

All users of Red Hat Gluster Storage are advised to apply this update.
