CVE-2018-14659 is fixed in 3 products on 1 platform, first by glusterfs-client 3.13.2-1ubuntu1+esm1, released November 1, 2018. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
The Gluster file system through versions 4.1.4 and 3.1.2 is vulnerable to a denial of service attack via use of the 'GF_XATTR_IOSTATS_DUMP_KEY' xattr. A remote, authenticated attacker could exploit this by mounting a Gluster volume and repeatedly calling 'setxattr(2)' to trigger a state dump and create an arbitrary number of files in the server's runtime directory.
