CVE-2016-8626
The way Ceph Object Gateway handles POST object requests permits an authenticated attacker to launch a denial of service attack by sending null or specially crafted POST object requests.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.28%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
