NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glusterfs package and not the glusterfs package as distributed by Ubuntu.

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.
