Title:
  Glance needs a config option to limit the number of additional image
  properties

Status in OpenStack Image Registry and Delivery Service (Glance):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Impact: The vulnerability occurs when glance is directly exposed to
  users.  If users can only hit glance via the compute API, then no
  vulnerability.

  Nova has a configuration option quota_metadata_items (default value
  128) that's documented to limit the number of metadata items that can
  be put on an instance. (I verified that it also applies to image
  metadata using a havana devstack.)

  Glance does not appear to have such an option (I was able to put >500
  additional properties on an image using the glanceclient). I think
  this is a DOS attack vector, since someone could fill the glance
  database with garbage and slow everything down.
