MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 1.90%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.90%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
It was discovered that fsync(2) system call in glusterfs client code leaks memory. An authenticated attacker could use this flaw to launch a denial of service attack by making gluster clients consume memory of the host machine.
