Title:
  /info for Swift clusters includes Swift version

Status in OpenStack Security Advisory:
  Won't Fix
Status in OpenStack Object Storage (swift):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If querying /info on a Swift cluster, like
  https://swift.example.com/info, it will return the Swift version it
  runs.

  Example: "version": "2.5.0.2.1"

  This is a security risk, especially for Internet-facing clusters. In
  light of the recent CVEs (released on or around 2016-01-21), any
  Internet-facing cluster not yet patched with the fixes, can be easily
  queried for its version and the vulnerabilities can be readily taken
  advantage of. Hence, /info should probably not include the running
  Swift version.
