RHBA-2016:2027 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Image Service packages that resolve various issues are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 7.0 (Kilo)
for RHEL 7.

Description

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform provides the facilities for
building a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud
running on commonly available physical hardware. This advisory includes
packages for:

• OpenStack Image Service

OpenStack Image Service (glance) provides discovery, registration, and
delivery services for disk and server images. It provides the ability to
copy or snapshot a server image, and immediately store it away. Stored
images can be used as a template to get new servers up and running quickly
and more consistently than installing a server operating system and
individually configuring additional services.

This advisory fixes the following issue:

• Previously, the Image service client could be configured to only allow

uploading images in certain formats (for example, raw, ami, iso) to the
Image service server. The client also allowed download of an image from
the server only if it was in one of these formats. As a result of this
restriction, users could not download images in other formats that had
been previously uploaded.

With this update, as the Image service server already validates image
formats at the time they are imported, there is no need for the Image
service client to verify image format when it is downloaded. As a result,
the image format validation when an image is downloaded is now skipped,
allowing the consumption of images in legitimate formats even if the
client-side support for upload of images in those formats is no longer
configured. (BZ#1314315)
