The Gluster file system through versions 4.1.4 and 3.1.2 is vulnerable to a denial of service attack via use of the 'GF_XATTR_IOSTATS_DUMP_KEY' xattr. A remote, authenticated attacker could exploit this by mounting a Gluster volume and repeatedly calling 'setxattr(2)' to trigger a state dump and create an arbitrary number of files in the server's runtime directory.

CVE-2018-10929 [MEDIUM] GlusterFS vulnerabilities
Title: GlusterFS vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in GlusterFS.
It was discovered that GlusterFS incorrectly handled network requests. An
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue
only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM. (CVE-2014-3619)
It was discovered that GlusterFS incorrectly handled user permissions. An
authenticated attacker could possibly use this to add himself to a trusted
storage pool and perform privileged operations on volumes. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 16.04 ESM and Ubuntu 18.04 ESM. (CVE-2018-10841)
It was discovered that GlusterFS incorrectly handled mounting gluster
volumes. An attacker could possibly use this issue to also mount shared
gluster volumes and escalate privileges through malicious cronjobs. This

glusterfs: Unlimited file creation via "GF_XATTR_IOSTATS_DUMP_KEY" xattr allows for denial of service
The Gluster file system through versions 4.1.4 and 3.1.2 is vulnerable to a denial of service attack via use of the 'GF_XATTR_IOSTATS_DUMP_KEY' xattr. A remote, authenticated attacker could exploit this by mounting a Gluster volume and repeatedly calling 'setxattr(2)' to trigger a state dump and create an arbitrary number of files in the server's runtime directory.
A flaw was found in glusterfs server which allowed clients to create io-stats dumps on server node. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to create io-stats dump on a server without any limitation and utilizing all available inodes resulting in remote denial of service.
