## Affected

- Pivotal Cloud Foundry: Elastic Runtime 1.5.x versions prior to 1.5.17, Elastic Runtime 1.6.x versions prior to 1.6.18

## Description

It was discovered that cf-release v231 and lower, Pivotal Cloud Foundry Elastic Runtime 1.5.x versions prior to 1.5.17 and Pivotal Cloud Foundry Elastic Runtime 1.6.x versions prior to 1.6.18 do not properly enforce disk quotas in certain cases.
