for PUT could retrieve other objects in the same Swift account.
(CVE-2015-5223)

Romain Le Disez and Orjan Persson discovered that OpenStack Swift
incorrectly closed client connections. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to consume resources, resulting in a denial of
service. (CVE-2016-0737, CVE-2016-0738).

description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
