A flaw was found in glusterfs server through versions 4.1.4 and 3.1.2 which allowed repeated usage of GF_META_LOCK_KEY xattr. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to create multiple locks for single inode by using setxattr repetitively resulting in memory exhaustion of glusterfs server node.

CVE-2018-14660 glusterfs: Repeat use of "GF_META_LOCK_KEY" xattr allows for memory exhaustion
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_META_LOCK_KEY" xattr. A remote, authenticated attacker could exploit this by mounting a Gluster volume and repeatedly calling "setxattr(2)" to trigger an out-of-memory error and resultant denial of service.
