The openstack-glance packages allows virtual machine images to be discovered,

services to other applications.
The openstack-glance packages have been upgraded to upstream version 2012.1.2,

A flaw in Keystone allowed an attacker with access to the web and network
interfaces to delete arbitrary, non-protected images from Glance servers.
