NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ironic package and not the ironic package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

OpenStack Ironic through 39.0.1 allows a denial of service via a configdrive that results in a very large amount of uncompressed data, aka a gzip bomb.
