Date: August 7, 2013
Title: Swift Denial of Service using superfluous object tombstones
Reporter: Peter Portante (Red Hat)
Products: Swift
Affects: All versions

Description:
Peter Portante from Red Hat reported a vulnerability in Swift. By
issuing requests with an old X-Timestamp value, an authenticated
attacker can fill an object server with superfluous object tombstones,
which may significantly slow down subsequent requests to that object
server, facilitating a Denial of Service attack against Swift clusters.
