Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for glance, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
The records we use list no patched version of glance for CVE-2022-4134. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
Fixing This On Your OS
If you run this on a Linux distribution, patch through your package manager against the distro's own security advisory below — it tracks the exact backported fix for your release, which can ship on a different timeline (and sometimes a different severity) than the upstream project.
You must be using Ceph as a backend to be affected by this flaw. As this flaw would involve significant architectural changes, the impact is moderate. A fix will not be produced for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.2 and older releases. If you are concerned about the risk of this flaw against your environment, please…
There are two options: 1. Manually disable the show_multiple_locations configuration setting (change it to false). 2. Keep show_multiple_locations enabled, but restrict the glance-api service from being exposed directly to end users. Refer the upstream OSSN listed in the external references section for further details.Source: Red Hat security advisory for CVE-2022-4134 (CC BY 4.0)
