1405336: CVE-2016-9592 openshift: Failing to detach a volume causes DoS by retrying to perform delete
A flaw was found where a volume fails to detach, which causes the delete operation to fail with 'VolumeInUse' error. Since the delete operation is retried every 30 seconds for each volume, this could lead to a denial of service attack as the number of API requests being sent to the cloud-provider exceeds the API's rate-limit.
