Title: Keystone denial of service through invalid token requests
Reporter: Dan Prince (Red Hat)

Dan Prince of Red Hat reported a vulnerability in token creation error handling in Keystone. By requesting lots of invalid tokens, an unauthenticated user may fill up logs on Keystone API servers disks, potentially resulting in a denial of service attack against Keystone.
